The site I am implementing is for the support of multiple products/projects.

Using Taxonomies (or something else) can I setup a drupal site in which I have sections, and each section can contain any node type. So there might be stories in two different projects, as well as pages and perhaps even disknodes for downloading of samples.

How would I go about this?

I would want a link on the main menu for each project, to bring up that projects homepage. On the main site page would be the latest and greatest of all the projects info.

Thanks

I need my site structure like this:

Home
- Top 5 most recent items from all areas (could be all from one project, but could also be from different projects)

Project #1
News:
- display top 10 news items, with archive of old items
Training Materials
Intro
- a bunch of materials
Advanced
topic #1
- materials
Topc #2
-materials
Project #2
-repeat similar, but not exact structure for project #1.

Now the materials in any given area could be just about type of node, so I would use pages, stories, disknode, possibly even forums.

So, how can I arrange my site in this manner using what Drupal provides me with the core and mods.

Its similar to how drupal.org has accross the top: Support/Downloads/Handbooks/etc.

No one has any ideas on how to do this?
Am I crazy, and what I want cant be done?

I am open to other suggestions/ideas on how best to go about this, just let me know your ideas!

Read up on taxonomy.

Unfortunatly I don't have time to post more.
http://drupal.org/handbook/modules/taxonomy

Also look at the views module, I think that would help with the direction you are wanting to go in.

I did look around, and the combo of setting up a taxonomy with the taxonomy_menu module was what I was looking for.
