i'd say drupal is better
its extremely powerful and gives you greater freedom and is more flexible compared to joomla

its said to have a learning curve, but for someone starting from scratch joomla poses a learning curve too so why not go for drupal which is definitely better, also there is a great community if ur stuck

drupal has very few good looking themes, so you might have to code available ones to suit your requirements or buy premium ones, if you cant do that, do check out the themes before you start.

drupal is better but only if you are a developer and good programmer as it is little bit complex

Joomla is better / easier

[masroore52]

Joomla is the more popular of the two... since Joomla is easier to manage, most inexperienced, clueless noobs choose to build their sites using it. Unfortunately, Joomla also has more vulnerabilities - it's hacker-favorite.

My recommendation goes for Drupal - it's solid, stable and secure (cons - slightly harder to manage than Joomla, 3rd-party plugin/theme etc. support is less than that of Joomlas). The white house is built on Drupal - need I say more?

I am not an expert. But i know drupal demands more time while you get basics. After that you will realize that it is a really nice aplication.

IMHO Drupal is better.

I agree w/ nirajkum.
Drupal has a higher initial learning curve, more suited to developers. But you can really do a lot more.

Joomla is very popular and has better templates (in my opinion).
Joomla also has tons of tutorials on the web, including youtube.

I have played w/ both and actually prefer Drupal, but I have spent many hrs toying around w/ it.
