Hello everyone, The PostgreSQL community gave our project amazing feedback when we first announced TurnKey PostgreSQL appliance a few months back. This was a huge encouragement for us to push forward with our development efforts. Since then we've been busy busy beavers and have just released a new version of our open source PostgreSQL appliance: http://www.turnkeylinux.org/appliances/postgresql To those of you not familiar with TurnKey PostgreSQL, it is in a nutshell, an extremely easy way to get a PostgreSQL instance up and running on your server or VM (VMware, VirtualBox, Xen, KVM) of choice in just a couple of minutes. One of the reasons often cited as to why MySQL is more popular than PostgreSQL is ease-of-use. We're hoping to help change that, by making it easier for people to try out PostgreSQL and see just how far the software has come. Changes include: * Security: SSL support, crypto key regeneration during installation, set database password during installation. * Usability: confconsole support for systems with multiple NICs, password-free login in demo mode, and added many generically useful Webmin modules. * Bugfix in the daily auto-updates mechanism. * Rebuilt on top of TurnKey Core, the new common base for all software appliances, which is assembled from Ubuntu 8.04.2 LTS packages. BTW, this was part of a wider release including 12 other new appliance images: http://www.turnkeylinux.org/news/good-news-everyone Check it out and tell us what you think!
