TurnKey Linux's biggest release ever

Hey guys,

We just finished updating the site for our most exciting and ambitious
batch of releases yet. The 2009.02 release, based on Ubuntu 8.04.2 LTS,
features extensive improvements to usability, security and stability.
We've done a terrific amount of quality assurance on our end and blocked
the release until we had resolved every single bug and issue we found.

Highlights:

* New appliances since last announcement: Ruby on Rails, Mediawiki,
Drupal6, LAPP stack, Django stack, MySQL, PostgreSQL, TurnKey Core
(102MB) and Bootstrap (67MB)

http://www.turnkeylinux.org/appliances

* Rebuilt all appliances on top of TurnKey Core, the new common base for
all software appliances, which is assembled from Ubuntu 8.04.2 LTS
packages.

* Security enhancements: SSL support out of the box, regenerating
crypographic keys at installation time, database password setting
during installation.

* Usability improvements: phpMyAdmin included in all LAMP based
appliances, also included many generically useful webmin modules and
improved embedded documentation, configuration console support for
systems with multiple NICs, and password-free login in live CD/demo
mode.

* Many bugfixes including one that fixes a potential breakage to the
daily auto-updates mechanism.

Full details:

http://www.turnkeylinux.org/news/good-news-everyone

Link to blueprints for this release:

https://blueprints.launchpad.net/turnkeylinux/2009.02-hardy-x86

We got this far thanks to everyone in the Ubuntu community who tried out
the previous crop of beta appliances, especially those who gave us
feedback and encouragement on the forums. "Thanks guys! Part of the
what's great about starting out small is that we've been able to keep up
with all comments and questions and personally respond to every single
one of them, even in the middle of a development cycle."

Cheers,
Liraz

Notice that the home page hasn't been updated either since then.

It's some Fedora Magazine (Beta), an experiment by some guy...

Actually,
 
That wasn't the point of this conversation, it was that this website/rss wasn't updated at all..
 
But that is a good point. I support the Mobile Webpage Standards idea completely; it wastes a lot of time to load a website w/ no mobile support...
