Tired of logging in again and again to a Drupal site that keeps kicking you out? You can modify session length, i.e. the length of time that a logged-in session stays logged in, via the ini_set('session.cookie_lifetime'... line in the site's settings.php file. See details in Forum Finds: Modify length of user login sessions.

Yep, that Drupal is pretty darned flexible. And that's excellent for the experienced users, though can stump beginners, who might be better served (at least for a while) by a system that more rigidly channels their actions.
A good case in point is posting a story to, say, "my news page": some CMSes (including, I believe, Joomla/Mambo) have you make a news page, and "place" a new story on that page. Drupal, on the other hand, asks you to define the properties of the content that the system will select to create a news page, and then asks you to give your new story those properties so it shows up on the news page.
The former method is a lot easier for the newcomer to grasp, but the latter allows much more powerful stuff. Therein lies the fascinating potential of Drupal.
Anyway, I haven't revisited Joomla/Mambo since my initial foray, so I'll note again that I'm not qualified to make any claims about its current state. I expect that the good people behind that CMS have been making plenty of improvements!
