Re: [PLUG] Free virtualization resources

[JP Vossen <jp@jpsdomain.org>]

I've talked about this before 
(http://lists.netisland.net/archives/plug/plug-2012-09/msg00096.html) 
but http://www.turnkeylinux.org/ gives you (per their web site, but I 
agree):

* 100+ ready-to-use solutions: discover and leverage the best free 
software. Deploy solutions quickly on bare metal, virtual machines, or 
in the cloud.
* Free as in speech: free software with full source code and a powerful 
build system. Free of hidden backdoors, free from restrictive licensing 
and free to learn from, modify and distribute.
* Secure and easy to maintain: auto-updated daily with latest security 
patches.
* [sort-of pay for] 1-click backup and restore: smart backup software 
saves changes to files, databases and package management to encrypted 
storage which servers can be automatically restored from.
* It just works: designed for ease of use, built and tested 
collaboratively by the community.

Very cool.
