OpenACS is based on the old ACS architecture, which is substantially different from the current Red Hat architecture. The old architecture was an architecture based on Tcl and AOLServer. We found that, even though the entire stack was open source, customers wanted a more standard technology that they understood and could support, so we rearchitected everything on J2EE. As a side benefit, we were able to use a lot more open source software and we built a more traditional layered system (with separate data, domain, and presentation layers).The Redhat solution has been ported to Postresql, but isn't available to the public yet. The freely available version only works with oracle.OpenACS (Open ArsDigita Community System) is a Postgres version of ArsDigita
that has been available for a few years.
Does it have a CMS? There doesn't appear to much activity on it, but I haven't paid close attention.Does something like this:OpenACS forked from ACS about v3. It developed in tandem with ACS up to
5.0.x - open source/free release, works with oracle
5.1.x/5.2.x - commercial/support contract required, works with both Postgres and Oracle
about ACSv4. As far as I know after RedHat acquired ACS OpenACS went it's
own way code-wise. The current version of OpenACS is v4.6.

The OpenACS team has made great strides in improving the ACS 4.2 releases. If you liked ACS, you should definitely look into upgrading OpenACS. The fundamentals are much the same, but there have been many improvements.
