The EPrints installation went pretty well for me: the only hiccup I ran into was getting an error message on my password when trying to use the sudo command. However, I looked at the Tech Dicussion board and realized that the problem was that I was logged in as eprints, which isn't part of the sudo group. I found DSpace to be the most difficult installation and the one I had the most technical issues with, so EPrints was a little bit easier. So far I like the layout and the fact that it includes LOC subject headings (even though I need to make my own subject headings anyway). I am still not entirely clear on how adding your own taxonomy works, so I expect to spend a lot of time on that this next week. I think it's interesting how Drupal, DSpace and EPrints all have their own methods of dealing with taxonomies.
I did a little bit of branding: in addition to changing the welcome message, I added one of my images as a logo. The first method I tried did not make any change, so I tried the second method and it worked. It was pretty straightforward with the instructions handy, but I might have difficulty figuring it out on my own. For these types of changes I think I prefer the GUI environment such as Drupal has.
