I need to build a user-managed web site for a local non-profit. I'd like to set up a Content Management System to let them write and upload content (text, pictures, and possibly audio) themselves. I'm very proficient with XHTML, CSS, PHP, and JavaScript, but I've never used a CMS before, and I need some help choosing one.
The key requirements are as follows: it has to run on a LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) setup. The server isn't super-fast in terms of processing, so the CMS needs to implement some kind of caching. It has to be easy to use; things like automatic image-resizing and spellcheck would be great. It doesn't need to automatically support blogging (we're mostly talking about pages here as opposed to posts), but I'd prefer that it did. If it could automatically accept and track donations, possibly via PayPal, that would be super awesome.
Drupal, Mambo, WebGUI, Joomla!, Plone, etc. -- which is best for us?

Well Drupal, Mambo, Joomla are all good packages, and should be considered. Add to your list phpwebsite it is easy to install, use, and template and has user features that you are looking for. I have used it for several churches and schools and all of them like it for its ease of use. The photo gallery module is quite nice.
If you haven't used any before, download and install them, you can make a better choice.

In addition to the above mentioned, I think WordPress & PHP nuke are also good.
