Drupal is an excellent free software content management system, written in PHP. It's a good choice if you have to build a new site for non-technical users or customers, as both content editing and site administration can be done directly in the main site by authenticated users, and there's very little markup for those users to learn.
Fedora makes a great choice for both beginners and advanced users as it balances stability and cutting edge applications.
