From: Craig on
So...

Y.a. product that I haven't tried personally (yet). This one is, well,
maybe off-topic. Let's say you have always wanted to try Drupal or
Coppermine or MediaWiki or... but the installs are. just. so. fscking.
time. consuming. They might require Apache, MySQL, PHP or Ruby. Yuck.

Enter Bitnami.

They have pre-configured stacks to install directly on your client or
stacks including OS, for VM and for Cloud(!) installs. (Makes me think
I'm closer to trying that Eucalyptus after all.)

Check out the available stacks here <http://bitnami.org/stacks>.
