Mitch,

Can you point me to these "filebases" that you speak of?  The ones I see
look to be templates.  

Out of the box Mambo/phpshop looks to be overkill as well, so something
simpler would seem to be in order.

Also, the CSS don't work very well under Linux/Firefox; MS/Firedox and
MS/IE look okay.  I assume I'll need to redo the CSSes?
