I've brought up two drupal sites - http://www.whitemice.org/ - and -
http://www.whitemiceconsulting.com/

I'm still learning the ins-and-outs of how every piece is related but so
far I am pretty happy.  The documentation was good enough and the
package straight-forward enough that I was able to get this all setup
and running in a CentOS installation (in VMware) on my laptop while
sitting on a rock overlooking lake Huron.  No googling or Internet
access required.  Then when I got home it was a
pg_dump...scp...pg_restore to a 'real' CentOS box sitting in my basement
and I was online.

I haven't gotten into the LDAP authentication or some of the hackery I
need but I'm pretty confident Drupal will provide me with all the
pre-packaged parts I need.
