 Dovid,

 I am not sure about an update script due to reasons that Tzafrir
 and you already pointed out.

 But I think it would be GREAT to have an initial install script that
 just works, period !

 For years installing/updating LAMP (apache, PHP & MySQL on Linux)
 was a manual process, I read somewhere that Ubuntu now has a
 script that does the whole thing for you, and does it correctly.
