I need a content management system for a small business website.

And I do mean "small." 300MB/mo. total bandwidth usage, about 150MB of static content.

I just want to be able to train a semi-technical admin assistant to make basic content updates like job postings and contact info.

Our web host is UNIX-based (I don't know exactly what flavor/distro, sorry) and they directly support Joomla! and Wordpress.

Open-source / free / cheap would be nice.

every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

the "no true scotch man" fallacy.

    Honestly Wordpress would probably meet your needs with the plethora of plugins out there. If not I'm sure Joomla and Drupal will. Those two are a bit more complicated to set up than wordpress but somewhat more powerful.

    Magnolia isn't bad. It's also open source, which doesn't hurt. May be a bit of a learning curve to get up to speed enough to set it up, but once it's implemented, anyone can update it.

    We use it on a corporate website, which is updated by marketing/semi-technical admin assistants, so it sounds about the level you're pitching at, once it's up and running.

    (I also work with higher-end commercial CMS applications, and can recommend EpiServer and Vignette, but I suspect they may be severe overkill for the kind of traffic you're talking about)
