Tuxlite 2.0

TuxLite 2.0 now available for download. This release will support Debian 6 and Ubuntu 11.04 (Oneiric Ocelot) up until Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin). Here is a summary of the changes and new features:-

1. Unified script.

   - Both Debian/Ubuntu and LNMP/LAMP scripts have been combined.
   - No longer supporting legacy PHP5-CGI setup. Only PHP-FPM will be used.
   - PHP5-FPM package is pulled from DotDeb repo for Debian based installs.
   

2. More configurable options.

   - Choice of installing Adminer or phpMyAdmin for managing MySQL.
   - AWStats can now be disabled.
   - PHP modules and optimization is configurable before installation.
   

3. Various under the hood optimisations.

   - Script package now contains a "config" folder that stores optimized configs. 
   - Installation process will overwrite default configuration files with the optimized ones.
   - Fixed a ton of "weird" settings with Debian's apache.conf.
   - Improved main Nginx config.
   - Swapped Apache mpm_worker with mpm_event.
   

The biggest change is the unified script feature. There is now only one script package to download compared to before, where you had to download scripts specific to your setup/distro. Configuration is still very simple, only options.conf needs to be edited before the installation.

A number of features are still yet to be implemented, namely the remote backup script, as well as a script for setting up monitoring services. These features will hopefully be added in future versions.

The following features will not be implemented due to low/no demand:-

- LANMP stack.
- Support for CentOS/Scientific Linux.

The scripts are now also hosted at github, so feel free to follow the latest development of the scripts. Bug reports can be submitted there, or can be done the usual way by emailing me.

As always, many thanks to those who have helped test the scripts before the release!
