Could anyone provide directions as to how one would go about hosting OpenStreetMap road data in a Geoserver map layer?

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

Most straigth forward for Windows user like me is to download osm2pgsql.exe Windows executable for importing OSM data into PostGIS database. Then you'll have point, line and polygon layers in PostGIS. You can use those directly in Geoserver through filters, or you can create views to separate some logical layers (SELECT * from OSM_POINT where amenity='fuel' for fuel stations etc.)
Osm2pgsql is mainly done for creating Mapnik maps and it has some limitations. I hope they are documented somewhere.
