As I am a new user of Debian I have a couiple of Questions as to what apps to get . I am not a couplete newbie but am still very new ( I know how to use gzip and tar and can do most basic functions of a *nix system) Here is my dilema after searching though several different dists I have come to the conclusion that debian wins.
Now I have a minimally configured box running WindowMaker and I need to find Replacement apps for my windows junk. Specificaly a Word Replacement ( I tried WordPerfect but the install blew up at the end) There doesn't seen to be a .deb package available for it for some reason in spike of the aliance between debian and corel (same is true for KDE but i like WindowMaker better anyway). Any Ideas? Also need something that will make .gifs (Gimp doesn't seem to do this) I need a good HTML code editor for debian (Been thinking I may just program macros in emacs but I don't realy want to) On a side note I will be needing a Database to connect a website to fairly soon. Any suggestions (I am leaning towards mySQL but I would like a GUI interface to work in if possiable) P.S on a happy note I got Netscape to work Finaly! and TinTin++ rocks (please include it in a furture debian release. They are working on it again finally and I would love to be able to apt-get it as they improve it. Version 2 coming soom:)
