[sf-lug] Which CMS ? Drupal, Joomla, Mambo, PHPNuke or PostNuke?

Although:  (1) Rare is the Drupal site that escapes having general
appearance and layout almost indistinguishable from all other Drupal
sites, and (2) you get those rather dreadful URLs[1], a trait it has in
common with many other CMSes including Joomla.

Words of wisdom.  All CMSes introduce their own levels of frustration
and difficulty of debugging, and should IMVAO be used at all only if you
actually _need_ a CMS for some reason.  "I need to do multiple sites" is
not a scenario that suggests a CMS.

By the way, since Gallery itself is notoriously bloated and has
basket-case security, I created:

"Gallery Alternatives" on http://linuxmafia.com/kb/Apps/
