There's already a version 8.1 out, but 8.0 should also be working.

If you want the best support (at least from me) you should try to set up a
Debian Woody system... :-)

1. Install and set up all LAMP components shipped with your distribution
   (Apache, MySQL, PHP)
2. Install TYPO3-specific software (imagemagick, php-gd, freetype)
3. Install the source package
4. Install the sites you like to use

Don't know, didn't look at them.

Source only contains the TYPO3 source but no sites
Dummy etc. only contain the TYPO3 sites but no source

It's easy, isn't it? ;-)
