Before you start

I have been looking into CMS's and all the people I talk to tell me to check out Drupal for our needs. What we are looking for is a CMS that will give us the following options:

news stories, image gallery, link bin, events calendar, FAQ management, and a newsletter

Are all these features available for Drupal?

Hi there Drupal members,
I'm seriously thinking about using Drupal - it looks very mature (though I still wait for the 4.7 ecommerce....)
* Is it\ Will it be possible to add comments to a product - I guess the same way Amazon allows user to rate and add comments?
Thanks,
Amitai

Needing to put up a company website pretty quickly. It probably needs only 5 or 6 pages. No idea which version of Drupal to use... but heard someone say that 4.7 is better.

Questions, since I'm only used to working with and altering web pages in a text editor... tweaking SQL code and whatnot:

1> really stupid Can a logo be easily added?

2> The user/name login box I see on most "themes" (if that's what they're called).. can this be removed from a homepage and put only on a specific, interior page?

I am looking for a website builder/management tool that will enable users to create a free website and then be able to upgrade later if they'd like to add more functionality. When I saw that Drupal supports multiple sites with one installtion I thought it might be just what I'm looking for, but I have some specific questions.

- Does Drupal have an automated web builder module that would allow people to register and create a site with a URL like mainsite.com/sites/clientsite without any set-up required by the main site administrator?

How can I make and organize the classifieds on Drupal?

I was posting this topic in a wrong forum, so i repost here hoping will get some help:

I dont know if Drupal is a good choice for portal site, or is it just a news-blog site ?
My site doesnt need many portal functions, what im looking for is : a solution for multi sites hosting with 1 install, the manage/administrator section that we can set and run some pages (to input data), the ability to set the authority for some users (admin can input data, users can only query - select data .. ) thats all.
