It won't be Mozilla doing that. It'll be the server. IE by default hides those error messages though. Try going to IE -> Internet Options -> Advanced and uncheck "Show friendly HTTP error messages".
I belive http://umiststudents.com/ runs on Plone. Obviously http://plone.org does too. Neither are ugly looking by any stretch any both very usable. A lot of effort has gone into Plone to make it look "plain" - that is clean & simple to use. That's surprisingly hard with such a full featured CMS. Much easy to make one cluttered.
Setup's much quicker & simpler than the apache/php/mysql combo.There's a plone installer now that even sets everything up for you. That's your webserver, app server, content management system and database all in one.
As for Zope sites looking the same - just look at the various sites in this post. I'd say Postnuke sites all look far more alike to be honest.
Zope is excellent at wiki's too. The whole "page is an object" model fits wikis very well. Zwiki http://www.zwiki.org is one of the best I've seen,
Zope, Plone, and Zwiki are all progressing at a fair pace. If you haven't tried in a while it's worth having another look. I think one of the main problems is that it's just so different to other solutions out there. I'm used to J2EE development. From JSPs it's reasonably simple to pick up ASP & PHP. Zope requires a bit more of a mindshift.
Nice rant, but TomeRaider isn't anything like PDF I'm afraid. It's more of a database than an ebook - it's main use is large reference works, dictionaries, encyclopedias etc. You start typing a word in your handheld and it instantly finds the entry for it, even for docs 10s of MB in size. And all the entries can be cross referenced and linked. It's really quite neat.
TomeRaider isn't freeware either - it's shareware. It's be fantastic if there was an open source equivalent, but as far as I know there isn't...
Zope's excellent. It's really very simple - a web server, app server and database all rolled into one. Everything can be managed via the browser.
As the above poster says, there are loads of free products that plug into it do do whatever you want. In your case it sounds as if Zwiki would be ideal. If you wanted to go further then Zope also has a complete content management product you can use, called the CMF.
We've used Zwiki for an intranet and it's been extremely useful. Lets you have a set of searchable web pages can be easily edited without users having to know HTML.

Bruce Eckel's site http://www.mindview.net/ runs on standard Zope. That looks OK to me. Some UK Home Office sites too eg http://www.drugs.gov.uk/Home. All look pretty professional.

NTK noticed this book at Amazon
Surely Illiad could've come up with a better cover?...
In case anyones wondering 'cyfrifiadurol' isn't a typo. It's Welsh roughly meaning 'to do with computers'.
And before anyone says it, yes, computers have reached Wales now...
