Can you turn off the login / password piece, and just use it like a
typical website (i.e, like gentoo.org)?

I can't really speak to plone having never used it, however I definitely
heart drupal. A while back, knowing absolutely nothing about how Drupal
works and only ocassionally referring to documentation I was able to get
drupal installed and enough features for an involved community website
(user login/permissions, file upload, forums, comments, ratings, etc)
online in a couple of hours. The documentation isn't always organized
well but it's usually very verbose and well-written. Modules are
available for more stuff than you can shake a stick at, and if you can't
find what you want there's top notch howto docs that will walk you step
by step through the module building process. The taxonomy system can be
a little weird at first but once you've wrapped your head around that
it's more or less a cakewalk.

I was thinking plone, but I've had a lot of people say go with drupal.

I'd rather not have people post comments (wiki-like), just be presented
with what I want them.

So, which one would you choose?

I am running Gentoo (latest), btw.
