In the past I've used Copermine - http://coppermine-gallery.net/index.php it was so-so, not great, not bad - it worked.

I am currently using http://gallery.sourceforge.net/ again it seems ok, but a few friends and relo's claim is hard to navigate etc etc

I am 'looking' at Plogger - http://www.plogger.org/

Anyone used anything else? I am looking from peoples past experience! Plus I am a newb at installing shiz, I can follow readme files ok I suppose, well I've managed to install php scripts and what not in the past, so it should be all good...

recommend me some software :)

Don't google have a good one?

Gallery is brilliant! if your friends/relos can't navigate it, I'd suggest upgrading them, not your photo gallery.

haha fair enough, just seeing what's out there more then anything I guess...

I personally do like the features of Gallery
