I would not install with apt(itude)/the debian pkg, but rather use the dokuwiki install here: http://www.dokuwiki.org/install:downloader You just drop the file into a dir in your webroot, visit that url, and it pretty well does the rest. Of course, dokuwiki doesn't have as many themes as wordpress, but it's quite simple to manage a wiki once installed, and dokuwiki (like the flatpress mentioned) requires no db. It's all php and text files, essentially. The kids don't have to learn html or anything, even, just a little markup. (You might want to install a few plugins, however, so they can embed videos from youtube, or whatever, if you like). tony -- http://www.tonybaldwin.me all tony, all the time
