I meant to give an example, but got sidetracked.  My personal site has
absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with a Linux distro, but it's
handy to use an example.  When I gave Drupal a try I tried my best to
not have the site look like an uncustomized Drupal install:

That's an old copy of my site from back in its Drupal days.  If one
has trouble accessing it, it might be because it's running on my PC at
home.  Anyway, the home page has the exact same content as it did in
the site's pre-Drupal days.  I did resort to using an off the shelf
theme since creating a custom Drupal theme from scratch was beyond my
abilities.  I never got past the basics with Drupal.  Instead of
dealing with the learning curve involved in switching from Drupal 6 to
Drupal 7 I gave up on Drupal.  My site is now Django based:

Same basic content, but different theme and completely different under
the hood.  Some updates are bogging down my web server at the moment.
If one accesses the site in the near future it might be a bit
sluggish.  It should be back to normal soon.
