Hey Mambo, I want my own website

Mambo is one of the most powerful Open Source Content Management Systems on the planet. It is used all over the world for everything from simple websites to complex corporate applications. Mambo is easy to install, simple to manage, and reliable.

At the moment I'm quite interested in Open Source, and the Open Source Movement. It has basically helped create the internet, and a lot of free software. Open Source is basically a bunch of geeks adding their brains to problemsolving, in terms of software programming, contributing patches to build up powerful packages. Some examples are the Linux Operating System (an alternative to Windows, and free), Apache (instead of Adobe, which can cost you $600) and this one, Mambo. Netscape is another example, until the internet tidal wave and Internet Explorer overwhelmed it.

A very good browser, better at defeating popups, worms and virusses, by far, is called Mozilla, and its Firefox browser.
It already has 10 million downloads (probably more by now) and about 5% marketshare globally. It's gaining while IE is losing.
I use it, love it's clean look and feel, and I highly recommend it.
You can download Mozilla for free at: http://www.mozilla.org/products/mozilla1.x/

Why Use Mozilla ?

“Best of 2003“

“Mozilla is the best free alternative to Microsoft IE and it's faster to boot.“
