One of the great things about Ubuntu is that its sponsor doesn't try to "own" the project. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the project in the areas that interest them. We consider TurnKey Linux to be a specialized extension of the Ubuntu community (I.e., one that focuses on software appliances), similar to how Ubuntu is a specialized extension of the Debian community. Just to be on the safe side we also gave the Canonical guys a heads up before we launched to make sure we weren't doing anything inappropriate. Hope that clears it up!

I'd like to thank nixternal for standing up for us, but really I can understand Vadim's suspicion. It's unwise to blindly trust just anybody who puts together a software appliance. We have an entry on our <a href="http://www.turnkeylinux.org/faq" rel="nofollow">FAQ</a> that tries to address this concern (<a href="http://www.turnkeylinux.org/node/8" rel="nofollow">"Why should I trust the security integrity of a TurnKey appliance?"</a>). Also, I'd like to point out that we sign all of our releases with our personal GPG keys and that it would be awfully dumb of us to compromise the integrity of our own releases given that it would inevitably be discovered and would destroy our reputations.

No reason to break out the tin foil hat in order to avoid them :) It is a very easy and slick setup. It makes developing on the platforms they offer much easier. @Vadim: I know the devs of it, they are perfectly fine.

I was <i>really</i> wary of a website that was looking awfully close to ubuntu.com but failed to mention any affiliation to it. Now, I definitely won't trusting them with any of my data or code :\ Thanks for the explanation.

I will definitely look into that as I typically have multiple vm's up and running. @Vadim: no, not affiliated with Canonical. They just provide already setup Ubuntu appliances which make life so much easier. @sage: thanks for that pointer! I will definitely look into that as I typically have multiple vm’s up and running.
