`OSGeo4W`_
    OSGeo4W is a binary distribution of a broad set of Open Source geospatial
    software for Win32 environments (Windows XP, Vista, etc). OSGeo4W includes

`MS4W`_
    MapServer for Windows from MapTools.org. If you are a beginner looking for
    a complete MapServer solution on the Windows platform, or an advanced user
    looking to avoid compiling your own, this is what you're looking for. MS4W
    is a complete Web Server/MapServer/MapScript package. MS4W includes 
    several flavors of MapScript (PHP, C#, Python, Java), and additional dlls 
    for SDE and Oracle support.  Several popular Web applications are also 
    available for download, which are pre-configured for MS4W.

`FWTools`_

    goes beyond your basic web mapping tools and include many useful utilities
    for creating, manipulating, and serving geo-spatial data.

Linux
..............................................................................

`FGS`_
    The FGS Linux Installer is a self-extracting file that will install
    MapServer with PHP/MapScript and all of their dependencies on your Linux
    system. It provides a stand-alone environment with all the required
    software (incl. Apache and PHP) to run PHP/MapScript webmapping
    applications. The bundled version of Apache can be configured to run on
    any port so it will not interfere with previous installations of Apache or
    other web servers on your system.

`DebianGIS`_
    DebianGIS provides a number of packages including MapServer, PostGIS, 
    GDAL, QGIS, and GEOS.  It sometimes lags a little bit behind the absolute 
    latest release, but DebianGIS provides a solid integration environment 
    for a giant slug of Open Source GIS software.
