I last looked at Gallery around version 1. Gallery v2 is out now I
believe, but as I personally never liked the look and feel of Gallery 1,
I stopped keeping track of it.

Another photo gallery solution I've heard of is Singapore at
http://www.sgal.org/, though I've never use that one either.

PHP BB appears to release security updates very often and more and more
seem to be found. Personally I wouldn't use it. If you do, then I echo
David's view that using a Linux distributors version "out of the box"
would be wise to make handling of updates easier.

There are many forums out there. FUDforum (http://fudforum.org) seems
well respected as is the Simple Machines one
(http://www.simplemachines.org/). Sitepoint uses vBulletin which is
nice, but it costs 90 quid.
