Totally agree as to Magento

Totally agree as to Magento - though it's quite new. And i would also mention Zen Cart as one of the options. It has been on the market for longer period of time and is worth to use.

In case you need a hand switching from one shopping cart to different one try web service cart2cart. It will trasfer all your data automatically.

Magento are Prestashop are

Magento are Prestashop are both good shopping cart software which are both quite new so you don't get the boltons that you have with oscommerce or cubecart, but if you can live without some of the features they are solid platforms that ware worth having a look at and will only improve with future developments.

I think ZenCart is the best.

So whats the learning curve

So whats the learning curve on this stuff.

Well, that all depends on what you want to do. If you keep it simple, the learning curve will be shallow. My advice is to start out with a very simple installation, with no customisation; make it easy on yourself. Then learn how to do clever stuff when you've already mastered the basics.

Can someone kinda walk me through the process of creating an E-Com site using Drupal.

That's a little too difficult for a forum post. Might be a good subject for a future article though.

The first thing you should do is set up a server (even if it's under Windows on your local computer), then learn how to install Drupal. There are instuctions available, on the Drupal site. And if you get stuck on anything specific, ask here or check out the support options from the Drupal community.

You'll need a Linux host

You'll need a Linux host with PHP and MySQL to run a Drupal site.

It runs in a WAMP environment, too...not like I recommend ever using a Windows server .

So whats the learning curve

So whats the learning curve on this stuff. it sounds EXACTLY what I'm looking for. Basically...I just use one of their templates and then upload it to my hosting server. I use Lunar Pages...which has a my SQL database and I believe uses linux.

Can someone kinda walk me through the process of creating an E-Com site using Drupal.

thanks.

I use Drupal for ecommerce

decibel.places — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 18:15:13 +0000

I use Drupal for ecommerce on several sites.

Ubercart is awesome and totally configurable, Ecommerce is quick and easy.

There are also modules to include Zen cart and a few others.

You should do some reading/research, you can search on the Drupal site for specific features, maybe you can start here
