PunBB Discussion Forums JumpBox 1.0

PunBB is a lightweight discussion forum that provides the essential features to host a thriving community.

The project has fewer bells and whistles than other forum applications but it has an intuitive user interface and renders XHTML-compliant output. This JumpBox includes PunBB version 1.2.14.

Easy to Install

A JumpBox allows you to install a complex server based application without having to know anything about Linux, databases or the command line. You just download, extract the archive and open the application with your virtualization software. Further setup and configuration is handled through a simple web interface.

Simple to manage

The JumpBox platform is pre-configured, tuned and secured to minimize the management needs of the application.

Runs anywhere

Mac OS X, Linux, Windows it doesn’t matter. Thanks to the use of virtualization, JumpBox applications run easily on all the most popular operating systems.

Painless to upgrade

With a JumpBox and the JumpBox Assurance program (launching Q2 2007), management of the system is simple and efficient. Updates to the entire software stack are handled automatically by the platform with minimal user interaction.

Quick to move

With a JumpBox all the application code, data and the runtime are bundled together into a single directory that can easily be moved between systems or even across platforms. This allows you to start using an application by just running it on your desktop. Then when you’re ready you can open it up to the rest of the network and either continue running it on your desktop or easily move it to the server at any time. It doesn’t even matter if the server is running a different operating system, with a JumpBox everything is self contained.
