HAS ANYONE tried Mambo Open Source 4.5. Have heard some good reviews of it
recently:

        ... is a content management suite, which runs on
        any platform that supports Apache, MySQL and PHP.
        Designed to handle the largest of websites with
        all content pages being dynamically generated
        from a MySQL database.

        Unlike many Open Source website creation packages,
        Mambo OS is not portal software. It isn't
        designed to create a portal where visitors
        leave comments on your content, like phpnuke et al.
        Instead it is targeted at the corporate
        internet/intranet market.

        The look and feel of a Mambo OS site is defined in
        the template and all your content, menus and
        navigation tools are displayed according to the
        rules of the template.

        A common criticism of website software is that
        all of the sites look the same. With Mambo OS
        that doesn't have to be the case. Just look
        at http://www.yops.de, http://www.swm.com.au
        and http://www.zoobies.net to see how
        different they can look.

For anyone wanting to check out more try * the main Mambo OS site
