My time was mostly spent because of the lack of stable releases and

'default' map?) , broken SVN trunk of mod_tile, cryptic error messages,
configuration magic
OSM data & tools are mostly developed by volunteers on their free
time. Feel free to improve the wiki documentation if you find issues
or incompleteness. Creating an account for wiki edition takes less
time than writing your last 5 messages. Do something positive for the
project instead of complaining. Thus, the next one installing a tile
server on F18 will be grateful for your help.

I apologize if the feed back I gave seems to be a complaint, it is not,
I'm very happy to have an alternative to Google Maps and similar systems.
I can update a wiki page, but what wiki page? When googling
"openstreetmap fedora install" there are different pages that show up
and I had to look at all of these. What should I write about obtaining
mod_tile or osm2pgsql? What revisions a user is supposed to get to have
a working system? I can list the revision I have but in a few days, or
even already, it may be better to get a later version: I'm the last to
be able to declare that a particular version is better than another. At
the moment I can write the complete set of things I had to consider to
have a working system, that would give a general view of the set of
problems to handle, but it will be far from a "do this and it will 100%
work" recipe, mostly because of the lack of stable versions for the most
important components of the tool chain and the lack of a set of stable
versions known to work correctly together.
I don't complain, I supplicate stable versions :-)
