Well I meant in addition to the Geoserver one. Chris we're open to a
bash script from OL for install and setup of examples to be inlcuded in
the next version of the Live project (2.x>)

Datasources for examples might need to be coordinated with Mapserver, or
the inlude of tilecache and featureserver might be good. Isn't tilecache
in the Ubunutugis repos now?
