[olug] LAMP PostNuke PHPNuke PHPix (long)

[Jeff Hinrichs]

You might want to check out Geeklog (http://www.geeklog.net/)
Many have integrated Gallery (http://gallery.sourceforge.net/) with it
(http://www.geeklog.net/article.php?story=20021228141659892)
and phpBB

I think GL is easier to install than PostNuke.
