Errr, yum doesn't know about anything but rpms.
Yupp, that's what I was trying to say but failed. 8-} I prefer either a rpm-package to install from or something available via yum. Gallery2 is a tar.gz-packagge.
If you want something even easier for personal use there are inexpensive network file server appliances with built in media and web services so you just dump stuff in a mounted directory and it's available. For example: http://www.synology.com/enu/products/DS209j/index.php
Seems like I also did not mention it must be free, as in not costing anything. 8-)
Though I dream of a six-disk NAS filled with 1TB-drives... 8-/
The point of these devices is that the cost ends up being negative compared to running stuff on a full-featured computer powered up all the time. Plus, they integrate the media server, so upnp/DLNA clients like the PS3/Xbox360 and an increasing number of network-connected TV's can view the same pictures with their built in protocol without yet another setup.

That might be interesting if you have all that flashy TV:s and stuff. My computer-based PVR, running WinXP works fine, as does my Xboxes.
Anyway, I installed Gallery2 yesterday evening and finished up way late. It works sort of. I feel I need to read up on security best-practices with regard to mysql and also how to deny folder listings. As it is now I think mysql is seriously insecure for world access, and the folder listing shows the gallery2 contents to the world. I'll look into it this weekend.
Thanks all who suggested and hinted me!
