Hi Robin, I've been playing with Joomla of late, which seems to do quite a nice job - you'd need to get your hands a little dirty with the skinning but overall it's pretty simple and has a ton of extensions, together with an active dev community that seems fairly helpful. You can download a vmware server ready made to have a play with it - and indeed quite a few of the other open source CMS systems here: http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/appliances/directory/cat/44 Hope this helps!
