MySQL is a relational database management system (RDBMS) which has more than 11 million installations, and is owned by Sun Microsystems. MySQL is a fast, stable, robust, easy to use, and true multi-user, multi-threaded SQL database server. A relational database stores data in separate tables rather than putting all the data in one big storeroom. This adds speed and flexibility.
The TurnKey MySQL appliance is an easy-to-use, lightweight, installable Live CD of the MySQL database engine 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 MySQL database servers with maximum usability, efficiency and security.
TurnKey MySQL 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!
