One of the best reviewed serious CMS is bricolage, it is rated highly
by eweek and others and is very well suported. Naturally it's open
source and runs on *nix.

I'm surprised nobody has suggested Bricolage already as it is a proven
reliable CMS that beats the big guys for most deployments, let alone
the most of the java, php and python open source CMS that have been
suggested in this thread already.
