CMS better than Postnuke

[datr]

My current web host just wiped out my site (due to a hardware failure) so I decided to start again and implement a few ideas I?ve been thinking about. For the past year I?ve been using postnuke and have found it reliable, however a lot of people recently have been putting it down, so I was wondering if someone could recommend a better CMS and give reasons for why it is better.

I was intending on using the multi-site feature of postnuke (which allows one instance of the script to run multiple sites through detecting variations in the domain) so I would like a CMS that had a similar feature to this.

Also I was intending to write a lot of add-on modules for postnuke to provide free services like image hosting, so if I were to use another CMS an advanced plug-in development system would be very useful. Anything like the recent postnuke one would be great, which implements SMARTY templates.

Thank you for any guidance you can offer, unfortunately I?ve found it hard trying to compare the features of CMS that people have recommended in other threads so if you could include why you think its better I would be very grateful.

E107 - http://www.e107.org - Great CMS! Used it for very long!

CPGNuke - Like phpnuke *alittle* but more customization and hell more security.

supposedly the next major version (think 5.x) of Mambo will support multi-sites by default but at the moment, there's a "hack" that supports 3 sites in one DB. here's a link to an extensive thread discussing multi-site functionality in mambo

cpgnuke supports a phpbb2 style of theming but even easier
