Dear list,
Until now I have been using the public Demis, Metacarta, Google Maps services as base map providers
in my WMS clients. Since our company creates commercial services, I don't want to be dependent any

Thank you for your answers.
@Edward: Thank you for that link, just what I needed. I have been looking at OSM before but it
always seemed to be mainly about street maps with too many features and I never really found out how
to use it.
In the link you provided I now also see decent topographic
Thank you. Yes, I was planning to use a tile cache for this service. I am not new to MapServer but
have never used OSM or tile caching and am not particularly experienced in styling, so I have many
questions now. But I'll first study the documentation in the answers!

One of the mentioned constraints was offline usage...
yes, but it is possible to pre-generate the tiles, though not sure if
this is feasible on just one server for the whole OSM dataset, but
maybe for much simpler datasets would be the way to go

By pregenerate I suppose you mean pre-download from the osm servers?
This in the general case is prohibited by osm's TOS :
