Mambo vs Joomla

Both Mambo and Joomla are FREE CMS applications which offer full feature set and easy customization. These two sytems are quite similar yet they do have some differences.

History:
Mambo is the older of two - Joomla is actually a fork of Mambo and is thoroughly based on it.

Mambo CMS is a great tool that offers excellent options when it comes to content management. There are also a long list of add-on components and modules, which you may add to it and enhance its capabilities (e.g. forum, shopping cart, gallery, etc).
