Hey Alex<br><br>In my opinion and 5 cents worth.<br>Joomla, Drupal have there uses, but are a bit more complicated for a simpler basic site.<br>(they are more powerful for bigger websites and commerce)<br><br>CMS Made Simple is another alternative, it's a simple CMS my web design friends used to rave about<br>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
I was about to start a new website project using wordpress but ran into a problem. It appears that wordpress is masked on Gentoo due to security concerns.<br>
<br>

<br>
I found quite a few of alternatives, however not really sure which one to do with. Drupal or Joomla seems nice enough. Any suggestions on which alternative is best ?<br>
<br>
Kind regards<br>
Alex<br>

I'd suggest that Drupal / Joomla suffer from similiar security issues to Wordpress (PHP + canned plugins/modules etc)<br>
<br>
These can all be secured as well as any other framework, I suspect.<br>
<br>
Its usually badly chosen plugins for wordpress that cause concern, but again same issues applies to any of these frameworks.<br>
<br>
I'll suggest Python+Django if you want to distance yourself more from PHP, but thats a personal preference for me.<br>
<br>
I do admin a few wordpress, joomla, drupal and django sites.<br>
