How about twiki (www.twiki.org)

You can do comparisons here depending on what your needs are. There are lots of good ones out there, it's more on what you need it for and the features.
I personally use Dokuwiki.

I use PmWiki[1]. Just a bunch of php files and you don't need a db so it is really easy to set up. Lots of skins and the ML is really good. Been running it for quite a while and never any problems.

I find Dokuwiki very easy to install and nice to use. And there's a lot of plugins if you need any extras.

I'm becoming a fan of dokuwiki (http://www.dokuwiki.org/). It stores the content in plain text files, so you can even use it to document how to fix a broken wikisetup.

I'll add my vote for dokuwiki. It was simple to set up on RedHat, even with ACL to track updates. The software is all PHP, while the content is mostly text files. It has content management built in, so backing out inaccurate changes is simple. It does a nightly backup into compressed files in each directory. We had a nightly cron job that copied those to a second drive on the server, and copied that drive to a tape once a week.
It may not be installable with yum, but installation consists of copying a tree of directories onto the web server. Take a good look at their collection of add-on features. They make it incredibly flexible.

It is installable via yum is you use EPEL:
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/dokuwiki-0-0.4.20091225.c....
Change the arch in the URL if using x86_64.
For more info about EPEL.

I'll also agree with all of this, updates are trivial to apply and like they said about the data being left in flat files makes it trivially portable.
It's been a solid aspect of my documentation.

I recently had to install it for someone in our office and it was a doddle using the EPEL repo. I haven't used it through, but they seem very happy with it!

I like twiki because it just uses the filesystem and is easy to back up, permits attachments, and has a lot of add-on modules that can make it easier to use (edit cells in tables, etc.). It's not the easiest to install but not too bad either.
