It goes wiki-wiki-wiki-waaaa

I've been playing with wiki software at work of late, looking for something to manage the Unix team's ad-hoc documents and other voodoo - stuff that doesn't really fit in the Official Stamped And Approved Methods Of Doing Things.
I wanted to do this at my last employers, but the thought of deploying PHP/perl/MySQL web apps on Solaris filled me with a subtle dread, so I didn't really look into it too deeply.
A quick shufty on the Interwub, however, revealed that Sun have pre-configured Apache/MySQL/PHP packages available as Cool Stack. I wish Sun would stop with the 'cool' moniker. This is not.

The whole install was remarkably painless - building the zone took longer than installing and configuring the 'cool' packages and the TikiWiki software.
First thing I did once the Wiki was up was to slap the install procedure on a Wiki page, which you can see here, if you're interested in doing the same thing yourself. For the uninitiated: yes, that does constitute a remarkably painless install on Solaris.

My mom AND at dad loved it, but not my sister.

This is ridiculous. No-one's mother should be involved.
