Drupal Hosting : Dreamhost quit the field?

This is a drupal question asked by socialtalker on 14 December 2007

I deal with several hosting sites one them being Dreamhost, which graciously host my non profit for free. at first I decided on joomla, but i decided to put nearly all my sites with Drupal so I could get better and more efficient at how a cms works. I did notice that when they offer automatic scrips to install software Drupal was not there, and the drupal/dreamhost wiki has a rather sarcastic/snarky attitude about installing it. I am planning on running a fairly active site, although catered to a local audience.
perhaps I should install something else? if so, should i pick wordpress or joomla?
