That's probably my next step - maybe off a liveCD first?  In the meantime, I
installed XAMPP on a USB stick for the purpose of playing with all these
wonderful CMS, wiki, blog and photo gallery apps.  It shouldn't be too hard
to relocate the one I choose eventually to proper web server, should it?

The Wordpress is proving to be very user friendly and heaps of themes
available; I also want to try Serendipity, anyone have experience with it?
