Обсуждение: New version of TurnKey PostgreSQL appliance

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:

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

Check it out and tell us what you think!

Almost forgot to mention this, we also released a new version of the
LAPP appliance:

* Includes phpPgAdmin (listening on port 12322 - uses SSL)

* Added Python and Perl support for apache2 and postgresql, so the P in
  our LAPP stack appliance now stands for Perl and Python in addition to
  PHP.

Also it includes all the changes described in the previous message
regarding the new PostgreSQL appliance and also. See website for further
details:
