If you're not already aware of it, there is a pretty comprehensive listing of free, open-source CMS' here www.opensourcecms.com You can play with each one; there's a fully-functional demo of each online. The data refreshes every 2 hours so you can tinker as much as you like. Also they are categorized by various functions (e.g. shopping cart) and have user-ratings.
