My server is on debian, so I won't use yum directly. But the general 
idea looks like :

- convert planet to postgresql using osm2pgsql
- use mapnik to render data from the db on the fly
- use tilecache to reduce the load on mapnik

So what is the actual server software that interprets the api calls to 
pass to mapnik? Or is that considered trivial/a one-off to write for 
each new application?

Yep, that was the problem with all the wiki stuff - I had problems 
working out what software was just old and what was abandoned

Thanks for the help
