atw: CMS software questions

Hi everyone, 

I am currently exploring the world of CMS software and have found a couple. I 
have started with "CMS Made Simple" which has been fun. Well, sort of, I 
haven't actually been able to get it running yet, but, well, in the overall big 
picture it is fun. The benefit of CMS Made Simple is that I can run a test 
version on Windows (supposedly) and play around before I commit to a live event 
on a web server...

At present I am looking at the use of CMS in website development and so on 
amongst other things - obviously using it for my own file management is a 
probably option too. One of the functions I would like to have in a CMS is the 
ability to import existing content quickly. Does anyone know of any CMS systems 
that can perform functions like this?

Also, given that I am not a programmer - I can code and understand the basic 
principles of databases and so on but essentially I am a beginner - can people 
recommend CMS software they have used, CMS software to avoid using given 
complexities and so on, and generally any advice that might be pertinent - you 
know, heads-up on traps for young players and whatever. 

I know my own web hosting company has a CMS (PostNuke) which needs Linux (I 
don't know much about Linux yet either) and while I have one of my best friends 
who is a Linux nut, and can ask him to help, any other background advice would 
be happily accepted. 

Take care and thanks in advance etc...
