Hi, I am newbie to geoserver but have been using mapserver for the last couple of years.
My question is:
I have a number of raster maps (.png’s) that I wish to serve up with geoserver using a openlayers client. It is not clear from the geoserver web site whether geoserver supports doing this. I installed the most recent stable version but I can’t find any possibility to serve up raster (geocoded image) files, only shape files. Can someone tell me which is the current best way to do this with opensource software.

There's a branch that has support for such things: http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOSDEV/WCS+Branch But it hasn't had a release in awhile, and thus would be tough for a newbie to get up and running.
I'd recommend just going for mapserver, I'm pretty sure they can support it.
