All, A big barrier to evaluation and use of Koha has been the difficult installation process and the need for some Linux expertise. We have developed a software appliance (or Live CD) for Koha v 3.0, that removes this barrier. The CD can be used in several ways: - to try Koha directly from the CD - to test if your hardware is compatible with Linux/Koha - to install on your machine The appliance is built on openSUSE Linux 11.2 and Koha v 3.02. The appliance includes a full featured and ready to run Koha, including: - zebra search server - email notices - fines calculation and more.. User manuals and other resources are also packaged in the CD. We will offer free but limited support via a mailing list: koha-appliance-osslabs@googlegroups.com. Those interested in the appliance can order a copy on our website, you will need to pay postage costs only. More information on this appliance is available here: http://www.osslabs.biz/koha_library_management_system/koha-appliance.html.
