Yeah use a proper CMS (not a portal, not a blog, not an X):

http://www.opencms.org/opencms/en/

Runs on Java (hence no problem on Linux) and is open source.

Yeah but that thing is just overkill.

That's a CMS as in Complicated Management System.

Maybe, but since the OP didn't give us any requirements other than platform, OpenCMS is pretty much guaranteed to meet whatever those requirements are.

ta

thanks chaps.

I'll have a look at those over the next couple of days and see where I go. I'm leaning towards the cmsms on the basis of looking quicker/easier to set up and config.

thanks

How about Joomla? Piece of piss to install and use, and the results can be very impressive for the effort involved. Plenty of free templates about on the net too.

Yeah but it's overcomplicated, yet another tulipty portal (tm) and runs like a dog unless you have a couple of dedicated P4 Xeons propelling it.
