I'll add my vote for dokuwiki. It was simple to set up on RedHat, even 
with ACL to track updates. The software is all PHP, while the content is 
mostly text files. It has content management built in, so backing out 
inaccurate changes is simple. It does a nightly backup into compressed 
files in each directory. We had a nightly cron job that copied those to 
a second drive on the server, and copied that drive to a tape once a week.

It may not be installable with yum, but installation consists of copying 
a tree of directories onto the web server. Take a good look at their 
collection of add-on features. They make it incredibly flexible.
