[PLUG] TurnKeyLinux: Debian-based pre-built appliances

[JP Vossen <jp@jpsdomain.org>]

I posted about these folks in 2008 and I ran across them again in a blog 
the other day.  I was very interested to see that are now basing off of 
Debian (instead of Ubuntu) and they now have about 106 appliances in 7 
different formats.  Very cool.

"Microsoft Tax" = the additional hardware & yearly fees for the add-on
software required to protect Windows from its own poorly designed and
implemented self, while the overhead incidentally flattens Moore's Law.
