MediaWiki is a powerful wiki engine that was originally developed to serve the needs of Wikipedia - the free encyclopedia. Today it is used by all projects of the Wikimedia foundation (e.g., wikinews, wiktionary, wikibooks, wikiquote), and many other large and popular wikis (e.g., Wikia). It is also commonly deployed by companies for internal knowledge management, and as a content management system.
The TurnKey MediaWiki appliance is an easy-to-use, lightweight, installable live CD with MediaWiki, which can run on real hardware in addition to most types of virtual machines.
It features a MacOS X themed web management interface and a new configuration and installation console written in Python.
It is based on Ubuntu 8.04.1 Hardy LTS and is designed to provide users with a pre-integrated, auto-updating, turn-key operating system environment that is carefully built from the ground up with the minimum components needed to run MediaWiki with maximum usability, efficiency and security.
TurnKey MediaWiki is part of TurnKey Linux, an opensource project that aims to develop high-quality opensource software appliances that are easy to use, easy to deploy, and free. Our motto is "everything that can be easy, should be easy!"
