well i suggest either joomla or mambo. they to me are possibsle two of the best you will find, why either one of thise caus ethey are basically 2 of the same. If youd like to see an example site of a joomla based site here is mine
http://estudio9designs.com

there are so many things you can do. and also there are so many features you can find as well as modules, templates.. unless you design your own tem;plate the way i did, whici is nothing fancy at all.

but i say go with joomla or mambo.. but good luck deciding

This really depends on personal preference, as each one has it's own strengths and weaknesses. I suggest you go to the relevant site for each of the CMSs listed there and look around at the features list, available themes, mods etc. and see which you like the look of best. Try it for a while and if it isn't for you, scrap it and try another. Personally I have tried at various stages for different people: Joomla, Mambo, PHPNuke, Xoops, early version of Drupal. I honestly can't say to you that you should use one over the others, it entirely depends on what you want to do with it.

I suggest you PHP-Nuke, its my favorite, and its like the easier one for configure and install. (if you ever worked with a phpBB forum, its basically the same)

And well, if you are looking for a CMS, i can tell you other,PHPBB Plus, well, its not basically a CMS but it works like that.
Its a modification of the phpBB2 forums, that enables you to do all the things that CMS's do and more, like Downloads, Calendar, News, Shotbox, etc..
you can find that one Here

Also you should visit this webpage: www.opensourcecms.com to see a demo of many CMS's
