Drupal = win, especially if you're multihosting.

I'm not necessarily sold on Joomla as a final solution.  To be honest,
I'll
support whatever the new person decides they want to use.  I am hoping to
accomplish a few things here:

   1. Bring in another open source advocate.
   2. Switch our current Dreamweaver/IIS infrastructure over to an open
   source solution.
   3. Have another knowledgeable linux person that can help me with
   creating/supporting websites in apache (we host domain websites for our
   local churches).

Having open source advocates send in their resumes stack the deck in my
favor.  Anything that helps me get that cursed IIS server out of my server
room is a great help.

What do you think is better than Joomla?
