Ok...thinking of going to Drupal from PHPNuke 6.5 (NukeCops release), as I have had a recent problem with updating Content, and no one seems to be able to help me. (Was able to update my content pages fine a few weeks ago, now, everytime I try to update, nothing gets updated ) I also heard that Drupal is more stable and secure. Q#1 and #2 - Can I just upgrade? Or do I have to kill all PHPNuke tables and installations? Q#3 - Is there a subGreen theme? Like the one on my site?

Ok...found some answers by reading around. IE - Themes...I guess I could just rip the css from the PHP Nuke and try to use it for Drupal?

I think in a nutshell that best way to ask all my questions is...is there a convertor or upgrade or convertor utility out there so I don't have to re-create everything? (IE - content/topics etc.)

1 and 2. You can not "just upgrade" from PHPNuke to Drupal. They are two different softwares. You need a conversion script to import your PHPNuke data and settings to your Drupal installation. Read these instructions from the Drupal documentation to understand how to do this. The instructions aren't as detailed, but they give you an idea. I don't think there is a script to automate the process, yet. Though these guys seems to be working on it.

3. There is no subGreen theme exist that you can just download and plugin for Drupal. You can modify/customize a theme, or create from scratch any theme you like for Drupal. Read the Theme Developer's Guide in the documentation for more.

To answer your nutshell question: I don't think there is a script to automate the process, yet. Though these guys seems to be working on it.
