[themes] Multi-Column Content: Drupal 6 Panels alternative

[brendan]

Whats good Themers?,

I just cleared up some time to start playing with D6 and in my 
excitement didnt notice that there is no update for the Panels module.  
Are there any alternatives for creating multi-column content with Drupal 
6?  I've got a 2-column homepage design that needs a list of page 
teasers on one side, and a node/page followed by a list of blog teasers 
underneath it in the other column; both columns will need to be styled 
extensively with CSS.  This site: http://www.flingmedia.com/, or my 
current site for that matter, are similar in look/content arrangement to 
what I'm trying to accomplish.  Any suggestions?

ooh.. In searching drupal.org, I found this discussion 
(http://drupal.org/node/206962) which has a D6 Panels port - but the 
author says its buggy.. and my php skills are kinda light.  I'm gonna 
give it a try though...

Also, (and slightly off topic)  it seems to me like a multi-column 
content option should have made it into Drupal's core a long time ago.  
As a point of curiosity, was this  functionality something most 
Dupaler's just weren't paticularly interested in in the past?

Thanks!!
