I don't use the commerce version; Miva Empressa is FREE and installs on all
the major O/S's (Linux, Win, etc.), and there's also Miva Mia which is a
virtual machine you can run on your own system. I used to use it when
SimpleNet was still around (before Yahoo! took it over), which supported Miva
scripts -- mainly for guestbooks and some automated stuff. I've also used it
to generate web reports from fixed sets of data.
