The whole meta-point of opensim is that it is a framework that is easily extensible and configurable in a myriad of ways. It's not one system, it's a family of systems. The most similar case that comes to mind is Linux.
We have vaguely agreed some time ago to make the "official" distribution come prepackaged with two configurations for SQLite-standalones (one HG other not), and another two configurations for grided sims (HG and non-HG). So that's what comes in the package. It can't be made much easier than what it is, because the official distro MUST expose the dozens of configuration possibilities so that distribution-makers and application developers can choose among them. As such, I would expect to see a variety of distributions popping up in the months to come that zoom in one certain things. OSGrid has been providing preconfigured binary distros for a long time. I think Rex provides their own too. The diva distro is another one, targeting one specific configuration -- HG standalones. And other people have mentioned theirs. I don't think these distros need to be coordinated in any way. Anyone can make a distro available for whatever configuration(s) they like, for pay or for free, with whatever prepackaged goodies they want. Just keep the license there and honor it, that's all.
