I just downloaded and installed TurnkeyLinux Joomla for testing.
After added a test article, and then I wanted to change the global settings of Joomla.
But got this error message:
Unable to open configuration.php file to write. |

This is due to the webserver user not having write permissions to the configuration file.
This issue is a usability / security tradeoff, and considering turnkey appliances should be as easy to use as possible, I am inclined to go with usability for the next release, and change the default permissions.
In the meantime, you can do this manually from the command line:
# chown root:www-data /etc/joomla15/configuration.php
# chmod 664 /etc/joomla15/configuration.php
