Wikipedia runs on MediaWiki, initially built especially for Wikipedia. It is free and can be downloaded here. It requires PHP 5 and either MySQL, PostgreSQL or SQLite. | |||||

If you just want to test it out without all the installation headache, you can get a TurnKey appliance of a full mediawiki install at http://www.turnkeylinux.org/mediawiki. You can then run it in VMWare/VirtualBox, or as a bootable CD ISO. | |||
