Some software decisions to make.

[gw90se]

I am in the final leg of doing a complete Windows flush. I still need to locate and try out a few different programs, before that happens. So, I thought that I would get ya'lls input.

Web building: I currently use frontpage (ducking thrown tomatoes, here) and don't do much except a small personal site for friends and relatives. Any suggestions?

Checkbook: I currently use Quicken. Nothing fancy, just basic check book and balancing.

Web building you might want to try NVU and for your checkbook give gnucash a try.

Thanks Rick. I have loaded Gnucash. I was pleased that it imported my quicken info. It looks like it will do fine, just checking around.

I'll look at NVU, also

take your pick:
leapad
emacs
screem
bluefish
kate
ktext
gedit
kwrite
nvu

.....there are thousands (?) of text editors for linux. Writing html web pages requires only the most basic of editor - when I wrote html pages in windows I would use notepad.

Sure, I had coldfusion -- I used it extensively - but I was just tripping over features...notepad was so much easier.

You'll find your html app in linux -- frontpage is no help really - it makes crap that you have to go and fix anyway. Why work 2xe?

Sorry - don't mean to play "my app is better than yours" . Forget it...

People seem to like gnucash - but there are a whole host of fine "accounting" packages for linux. Some have lots of features to trip over, though.

Gnucash is fine. KDE has a few personal finance apps that you could run in gnome...

happy computing.

I am checking out gnucash, so far so good.
I installed NVU, looks fine, except on epage I use image maps on doesn't show in NVU. The NVU forum said use GIMP to create them, so I am looking at that now, unless there are some other ideas.

Nope. gimp wins here.

For finances I used to use Maple a java base program, but I'm not sure it is free anymore, it worked very good for small business.
