A good resource i found while playing is

http://opensourcecms.com/

Has lots of opensource cms' installed and ready to play with and they
are all on a 2 hour reset period. Nice for a first look

After a lot of playing I am looking in serious detail at "CMS Made
Simple", it seems to do almost exactly what i want with out too much
crazy hacking around. Not sure if its just me but i find many CMS
systems want you to do things in a very specific way and i don't want
a site like that. Even with templates and custom modules the limits
seemed too hard but CMS Made simple seems to be similar to my way of
thinking which probably means its full of holes and likely to eat my
data.
