Guys, I've been developing sites on linux for a while now and seriously speakin, CMSs rock.
The only problem is that they are so many and plenty are well supported. Joomla, php-nuke, drupal, bitweaver, the list is endless.. All open source and very serious in nature. However, of all these, nothing beats ez publish in terms of flexibility. I have used it for a while now. Attended one of their conferences and guys, ez publish is really flexible. It even has an API (ez components) for the programming nerds(I'm an object oriented twisted mind!). But seriously, for those who've used CMSs, this will blow you away. I must however add that a little programming experience would add to the interesting experience, however you can find your way around this one.
