So I am trying to make the move from PHPNuke. However, I need a new CMS to have the following things which I would hope are available in XOOPS.
I'm a PHPNuke convert myself. Welcome to XOOPS!

2. Paypal shopping cart w/ invoicing and tax exempt customers. (OSCommerce seems adequate)
The OSCommerce module seems dead, but their is a
Zen-cart module for XOOPS being developed.

5. Simple to use gallery that doesn't require ImageMagik.
We've got a few that use the GD library or ImageMagik. Just do a search for Gallery and you'll find what you need.

I have looked through the manuals but I would like some insight from people who have actually used it and their impressions.
As I stated earlier, I converted from PHPNuke to XOOPS several years ago. The initial data conversion was a pain because their are no migration scripts. Lots of time with PHPMyAdmin! But it was worth it. You'll find that XOOPS is much easier to use, administer, and customize to suit your needs.

Ohh and it wouldn't by any chance happen to have compatibility with any PHPNuke mods/themes would it?
No, PHPNuke modules and themes won't work with XOOPS. XOOPS Modules and themes are much cleaner and simpler to understand. If you know your way around HTML and CSS, you'll be making your own themes in no time.
If you want to get up to speed quickly on basic administration and customization of a XOOPS site, check out
XOOPS for Dummies. It's a great way to get up to speed quickly and still serves as quick reference for many of us.
I hope you find XOOPS to be as fun to use and many of us have!
HTH.

Insanity can be defined as "doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results."
Stupidity is not a crime. Therefore, you are free to go.
