I'll probably get blasted for this, but I just had to vent....

Yesterday at work - after some discussion - we decided to give the *Nuke 
portal items a try. I had used PostNuke and PHPNuke in the past but never 
seriously. Being that we're developing a Wintendo-based system on .NET, one 
of my main programmers suggested we try DotNetNuke for an internal support 
portal.  There is an add-on which mostly fits our needs, and being open 
source, we can modify.

I went about installing it on my WinXP system. An hour later - after 
installing IIS (I was using Apache on the workstation), updating SQL Server, 
adding the .NET 2.0 framework (I had 1.1 on the system) and then having to 
figure which account needed permissions to the ASP.NET service in order to 
swich DotNetNuke to the correct framework and finally editing accounts 
manually using the VisualStudio commandline (and not the regular command 
line, I get it...

...not working correctly.  

Meanwhile I've installed PostNuke on my  SUSE laptop in about five minutes.
