There is also an additional donation made to the Turnkey Linux project for all users choosing a Turnkey distribution pre-installed*

For 3-month Turnkey Linux pre-installs**, this works out as:

  • You pay GigaTux for the first month
  • Both you and GigaTux donate the value of one month's subscription to Turnkey Linux (you pay GigaTux half and the donation is passed on)
  • GigaTux gives you one month free

For 12-month Turnkey Linux pre-installs**, this works out as:

  • You pay us for the first 4.5 months
  • Both you and GigaTux donate the value of 3 months' subscription to Turnkey Linux (you pay GigaTux half and the donation is passed on)
  • GigaTux gives you 4.5 months free

Go to GigaTux's VPS Page, choose your VPS package and enter voucher code TURNKEYHALF-GIG

* - You can install Turnkey initially and then reinstall another OS later. The donation will still be made.
** - Non-Turnkey Linux installs are a standard half price deal.

What is Turnkey Linux?

Turnkey Linux is an open source project that's developing a family of free, Ubuntu-based software appliances which are optimized for ease of use in server-type usage scenarios and can be deployed in just a few minutes on bare metal, a virtual machine and in the cloud.

In a nutshell, the Turnkey project believes everything that can be easy, should be easy.

Packaging a solution as a software appliance can be incredibly useful because it allows you to leverage guru integration skills to build ready to use systems (I.e., turn key solutions) that just work out of the box with little to no setup.
