Dreamhost’s Newsletter mentioned that the One-Click feature is improved.
WordPress One-Click is easier.
I do not try the brand new easy install. I just use it upgrade feature.
It is very fast and easy. Just click the Upgrade to 2.3.3. The plugins are still OK.
No other operation needed.

Enough with the chit-chat! We’ve made it through the “first 100 days” of
this newsletter, and it’s about time we got into the new chit.
As dumbed-down as we already made our one-click installs, it seems, like
politics, there’s always sufficient demand to make it even dumber.
Which is why we now have “easy mode” for our one-click installs,
currently available only for WordPress and currently “BETA”:
https://panel.dreamhost.com/?tree=goodies.installer
When you do “easy mode”, you’ll be using a fully-hosted version of
WordPress as opposed to getting files installed into your own web space.
This fully-hosted version WILL use your own MySQL database though, which
you’ll have full control of. Although you can still pick from over 50
themes and enable some plugins we have installed, you won’t be able to
customize the themes or install extra plugins.
However, you also won’t have to worry about managing your installation
at all.. we’ll automatically handle all upgrades and it’s now on US to
make sure your WordPress blog is always working and fast and correctly
configured (so long as you don’t go mucking directly in your database)!
(In fact, “easy” WordPress one-clicks are ALREADY upgraded to 2.3.3!)
You still get the installation at any sub-domain of yours you’d like and
of course there are no ads or anything of THAT ilk.
Also, “easy mode” is cool because ALL you do is pick a sub-domain and in
less than 17 seconds you’re ready to blog!
There are more and more features Dreamhost provide that others have not.
