There's a ton. They're called editors. No, really. There aren't any real WYSIWYG-style web development tools for linux, not free, anyways. (Quanta Gold, from TheKompany, is a commercial product; I haven't used it, though, so I can't comment on it.) As for which editors you might want to use... For a GUI editor, there's BlueFish (gtk+ application) and quanta (KDE application; this is *not* quanta gold), and the mozilla composer. For GUI text editors (general purpose, not just web), kate (KDE advanced text editor), nedit (a motif-based editor), and others are available. For more traditional commandline editors, you might want to check out vim and/or emacs. vi and/or vim is often the only thing around when you telnet or ssh to another server, so it's not bad to learn at least basic vi commands. And if you run 'apt-cache search editor', you're bound to come up with dozens. Choose the one that fits your needs. I use vim... ;-) -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://matthew.weierophinney.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
