We just got drupal installed for testing. Are there any must have modules that we should consider? Any tips and guidance would be great!

I agree with Droople in regards to CCK, Views, and Pathauto..

But I would also add Drupal Administration Menu. It makes your life of administering a site so much easier than navigating through the endless pages of drupal admin.

Finally, if you are a developer, the Devel module is one not to overlook.

I see a downgrade to 5.7 in your near future. ;-)

CCK and Views are pretty much a must have. Which means you'll be playing in the 5x sandbox for a little while longer.

A good place to find modules of interest is by visiting http://groups.drupal.org and find a group that shares your same interests. For example, I am developing a news based political junkie type site and found a newspaper group. I found a bunch of modules by viewing the group posts.

Another good resource for Drupal Modules is www.drupalmodules.com. Module ratings, download stats and reviews...
