Content Management Systems
The website CMS Matrix allows you to compare features on approximately 100 different solutions. The "Search the Matrix" feature allows you to filter the list according to the features that you need for your site.
The website Open Source CMS Systems allows you to demo approximately 40 to 50 LAMP-based software packages. (LAMP means Linux Apache MySql Php - based).
