I maintained a Drupal install for a while and it's labor intensive, 
especially if you do any customizing.  Drupal is following a "cutting 
edge" philosophy like Fedora and they drop support too quickly for older 
release, IMHO.  IIRC, they only support back 2 releases and with release 
coming every 9 months or so (just a guess) you have to upgrade often if 
you want security fixes which are rather important in a CMS.

Lanius is a reasonable CMS as long as you can live without a lot of 
addons and templates.  PHPNUKE is the old standby, but I've never tried it.

Here's a site that lists some choices you might be interested in.
