Comment on TurnKey Linux Software Appliances by Marc Warne

Absolutely. In fact, we’ve got it down to a 2 minute install time, all using a web based interface. The concept really is designed for those that want this installed on a VPS setup with us (GigaTux). We’ve enabled the appliances to work with the DTC open source control panel, which means that literally within one click, the OS can be reinstalled to any of the appliances provided by the Turnkey Linux project.

It’s pretty neat and you can see more information at http://www.gigatux.com/tech/turnkeylinux.php

Glad you are getting some use out of my shots. I enjoyed your piece. Not to quibble, but the inmates do get some training and many of them work with live stock everyday. Regardless, I am glad you had a good time there. I have spent a fair amount of time at Angola. Recently, I interviewed some inmates.

Hi Doug! I just came across your posting and wanted to say thanks for the kind words about Boulder Beer Company! I was your tour guide and had a blast doing it! And yes, having a beer with you fine folks on a morning brewery tour is just about as good as it gets for an occupation!
Hope to see you again next year!

Cheers!

Mr. Porter,

Not sure if you’re the same person who wrote an article several years
ago about using web services in PB 10. If you did I have a question.

Will your example using the MS xmlhttp object still run without changes
or do I need MSXML 6 ? I’m stuck with PB 10.2 and have already
tried the AWS example. It comes back with no service or a cannot parse
wsdl error. The UDDI option from the wizard failed as well.
None of the DailyDilberts worked as well. If I can get the XMLHTTP method to work my next challenge is to add WCF contract calls.

Any guidance and or ideas are appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
