Hello all.
I am newbie to Concrete5. I came from Drupal.
C5 looks like a piece of art, good engineering art.
1) I am reading all I can on the C5 web site before installing or trying a demo with C5 hosting services. What would b yoru advice on th path to follow? Continue reading learning for a couple more days and then install ? I am worried mainoly to security issues. I was hacekd last year on my server with an Open Source PHP based applicattion. I have read C5 has no problems while the server has the basic , at least , security implemented.

2) I have a friend that has a web sites done with Drupal that is like an online magazine. Lot of sections, at least 20 people registering and changing information, an open section to public in general where comments has to be approved. I was thinking on using his site as a working example while learning C5.
For what I have been reading and seeing in the sample sites C5 can done all, with the base core and some other plug ins. I would like see a sample of a big, in quantity , site. All I saw in the sample section were nice sites but not very big ones. If you have one like a magazine online, a community online can you please share it so I can see what have you created?

3) I have a couple of small personal servers. One running under FreeBSD and another Running under Linux. All with LAMP and working fine. Do you run C5 under your servers or under C5 hosting? I have not tried to install it yet in any , but will be doing it in the next 2 days. Any special advice on installation?

Thanks in advance.
