I can't speak for everything on there, but I do know that I tested (and 
tweaked slightly) the "manual 14.04 instructions" about a month ago 
because I suspected that some of the changes to the OSM stack might 
require a change (though it turned out it was mainly the way that the 
Natural Earth data was packaged that did).  I suspect that the Leaflet 
stuff should be still OK too (though very unrepresentative of what is 
possible with Leaflet now).

Ubuntu may not be an option for you but it doesn't mean that "a reliable 
base framework does not exist".  It'd be like saying that a recipe for 
pizza doesn't work because you can't digest cheese**...

Using something other than Apache would require using something other 
than mod_tile (perhaps see *), but that would be a different set of 
instructions, which I'm not aware of existing currently.

Cheers,
