I tried to install Magento once. It's a heavy beast and we couldn't get it working on our server. I know someone who does installs of it on Amazon EC2 servers. > I recommended PrestaShop because it is the closest to Magento as far > as good looks is concerned and reputedly easier to use.

We're gravitating more to Wordpress at work so we've been trying out Shopp Plugin which seems to be quite good for small sites. The code seems pretty tidy, too.
