I agree, Plone is very easy to install.  For those that doubt it I put  
together a posting tonight that outlines an advanced install (and is  
cross platform friendly):

I hope this can help people realize that even if they need more power  
than what the OOTB installer gives them, it doesn't have to complicate  
things.  Tools like ZopeSkel make sure that you are always using best  
practices and keeps the experience the same no matter what platform  
you are working with.  I even tested this on windows to be sure it  
really worked like it does on my Mac OS X box.

Cheers,
Calvin
