Except that I would never use PHPnuke. I'd use postnuke instead.
(http://www.postnuke.org/) The PHPnuke guy has been notoriously lax in
fixing security bugs and absolutely refuses to accept patches from
anyone else. So a few moths ago, lots of nuke users rebelled, forked
the code and created PostNuke. IMHO, a much better maintained, better
written, and overall better system than PHPnuke.

Slash, in my brief experience was definitely harder to set up. Which is
why I went with Postnuke.
