No, Slash is not only for people who can understand the obscurities
of any single OS.

Here is the thing though, like any applicatin there are some are some
minimum requirements that have to be met. If you ever install PeopleSoft
or Oracle Finacials, you will find that the install for Slash is pretty
much cake.
Slash is a lot more of an enterprise solution then a personal solution.
It
has in the last year become a lot more usable from your average users
standpoint, but you still need a certain minimum setup to run it. 
The thing is, you will find any of the systems which offer similair
services as Slash, all require the same sorts of infrastructure.

I would suggest you really look into a Slashhosting service. Your goal
I imagine is to get your site up and running, not become a perl
hacker. Going with a hosting service is your best option. The will
have it installed correctly, they will make sure your site is backed
up, and you will just have to worry about content (which is in the
end the most difficult piece to the puzzle).
