Need suggestions for setting up a corporate wiki server?

Question

I wanted to set up a small corporate wiki server so that the employees of my company can have a place to make informal documentation. I was hoping someone could help me by sharing his expertise. I used Twiki before in a another company but I saw that setting it up is very complex. I was hoping someone could point me towards a simple solution that I could get up and running quickly. I don't need an abundance of features, I just want to have a collaborative documentation server. The server will run either a linux distro or Windows depending on what the easiest solution I find is. If anyone knows of a simple solution I'd really appreciate the help. Keep in mind that I have no idea how to use any scripting languages (I can learn, but I'm shooting for a solution simple enough not to require scripting knowledge)

Thanks!

Answer 1

Generally I recommend Unix or Linux but thats because the needs call for it. People want LARGE POWERFUL servers, on less equipment, stability, security, etc etc.

Of course all of them can do everything but there are pros and cons. Ease of use, quickly running, many people using it at different levels, lack of computer person? I would say that a windows server might do well for you. It would tend to have more menus, most of them accessable to more people than just the admin if you want it, and the menus will tend to put everyone into a "windowsy" environment which will probably feel more at home.
