Someone I know just suggested this great site: http://www.opensourcecms.com/
It lets you test out all the forums as they would be. So you dont have to install them all yourself (Save me some time)

I want to use this site for having a forum, links, very few dl's , some basic discussion and news. (Sort of hard to explain waht i want)

After using opensourcecms, i tested them all out and e107,geeklog,ldu and phpnuke fit my needs and work well. So pretty much I will go by which one looks and feels the best and has good themes.

Take LDU, the themes community is just starting really, but already you can see that good themers follow ldu: www.lduworld.com

Dont use a nuke, they are bloated and clumsy...

Well, after looking at that LDU site, im looking at it again. I think ill install it on another server and try it out.... The demo at the Opensource site doesent give you a good example of it.

Nah, ldu is good, altho there is room for improvement, but with v600 due out sometime soon you have no need to worry!
