I honestly tried, what seemed to be like, so many different things.  NOMP had the most resources which allowed a novice like me get it running.  I've been able to add several different coins to go along with LCC, too, like BTC, LTC, DGB, DOGE and working on others.

If you have ANY sort of IT background, and are at least an awesome Googler, getting it set up should be a snap.
