You might have a look at Plone. It is built on top of Zope, which is an
application/web server/CMS. You can start from scratch with Zope but Plone
is pretty much ready to go "out of the box".

Give this site a thorough going over...great resource, reviews, and demo
sites so you can get a feel for the layout/GUI.

Of the major CMS's I'd say that XOOPS is probably the one I
would settle for at this time, after installing and testing
several. I have to say though there are many fine varients of
PHP-Nuke. I think you should go to the respective demo sites
and see if you like the interface and functionality.

Typo3 (www.typo3.org) is excellent. But be warned: it takes quite a lot
of learning time.

Funny how they do not mention DotNetNuke much in this site.

You do not mention what platforms you are interested in, but my preference
is DotNetNuke (http://www.dotnetnuke.com/)

Thank you, that is a very worthwhile site.

Here is what I'm looking for:

- something for a beginner, easy to install and use.
- prefer light-weight
- I'm most interested in those that just use PHP and MySQL
- something that will work with a typical Linux web-hoster

I tried PHP-Fusion, but I couldn't get it to install.
