<div>Who are "most people"? Are you really saying that most
people will build things on static hardware? Especially people
who are trying out new software to see if it works for them? I
heartily disagree, and I think an OVF of a preconfigured map
server that already HAS the planet_osm file imported into
postgis would be not only extremely useful but would get you a
lot more people taking the mapserver for a spin.</div>

I somehow doubt that there are going to be very many takers for a
download that is likely to be >100 GB (uncompressed around 300),
there's the additional issue that catching up to current status
would require that such a build be done -very- regularly. VM without
a preloaded planet or perhaps an interesting extract ... yes, do it!<br>
<br>
I'm fairly sure that with some additional polish Kai's Ubuntu Tile
Server package is the way to go, as long as we, as I've mentioned
before get some way to nail down stable versions of the associated
tools.<br>
