Postnuke started out as a fork, with most of the internal code 
completely re-written.  I think phpnuke is great too, but has been much 
more prone to security issues.  (The primary reason the postnuke folks 
did what they did.)

Hehe... I'm so lame, I went to /. and stole all the graphics they had.

Not necessarily.  Later this year I intend to give SWBell the boot and 
move into a much larger pipe at work.  Management has been extemely 
progressive in allowing me to host my own boxen here, and I expect 
unless abused to hell and back such a thing could be possible here.  
(And lets face it - if I'm not paying for it I would feel like a jerk to 
ask anything of anyone financially.)

Then again, I'm talking about KCLUG and/or KULUA stuff - not necessarily 
hosting business sites.

Cheers,
Dustin
