We've been using Joomla (and Mambo, the predecessor for Joomla) on our 
website since 2003.

Our experience has been good although a bit of background with Linux and 
mySql/PHP helps when
problems arise. Version 1.5 is out in beta and appears to be a good 
solid upgrade in the software.

If you have specific questions let me know here or off-list
