Functional Overview

LUX64 is a generic Linux-based appliance that can be used as a template for making new appliances.

The LUX64 server appliance is designed to be used in two ways:

As a customized appliance, by branching the LUX64 class to a singleton and modifying the class volume appropriately
As a template for building other appliances, by using it as a base to create new application-specific or global catalog classes.

Note: If you need GCC and the ability to build software from source on the appliance, consider using the LINUX64 generic server appliance template instead of LUX.
