Actually, TurnKey appliances are packages as *installable* Live CDs. You
can run the system live from the CD, but we consider that to be useful
mostly for demo/training scenarios. For more conventional usage
scenarios, you'll want to install the software appliance into a physical
machine, or a virtual machine (e.g., we use VirtualBox for testing).
