Over at eweek.com (a rather high volume site) there is a quote-ing of LinuxWatch.org, the article is about Drupal tittled Installing Drupal on Linux: an Epic Adventure
Opinion: Installing the Drupal content management system is too much of a battle, but works well once the fight is over.
I have installed Drupal a dozens times. I dont think it is hard to install, if PHP, MySQL and Apache are installed and configured, it's a 10 minutes job. However, work is underway to make an installer for Drupal, most likely in 4.8, which might see the light at the end of this year (or so).
For me, these [hard to install software] include sendmail, QuarkXPress, and now Drupal.
Well, this is NOT true! Sendmail is a bitch, Quark maybe hard, but Drupal should not be on this list! Only for people who find it hard to install Windows this can be the case.
