    Question Looking for web development software

    Hi all

    I'm looking for a program that allows me to create website.
    For the past years, Frontpage and Dreamweaver really helped me out, but none of these are working on Ubuntu.

    Just wondering: is there an alternative for Ubuntu?

    Re: Looking for web development software

    I've gotten Dreamweaver 8 running in Ubuntu back in the day using WINE. I wouldn't recommend using WINE unless absolutely necessary. If I remember correctly scream is WYSIWYG type editor that is in the Ubuntu repositories. I haven't used it though. I usually prefer to just code pages with text editor.
    It is un American to not like Open Source. It is un Christian to not follow the ways of Open Source.

    Bluefish and/or Kompozer. Both are in the repos....

    If you are talking about another Linux OS Linux Mint 9 is an excellent choice..

    Although he won't have any more luck with Mint than Ubuntu with respect to web development. And considering it's based on Ubuntu anyway, there's not much change.
    I am currently unable to come up with a witty statement to put in my signature. Please check back later.

    SeaMonkey Composer is less buggy than Kompozer. There is also a program in the repository whose name I can't remember, but it starts with a G and it is WYSIWYG. A basic program but quite promising.
    I try to treat the cause, not the symptom. I avoid the terminal in instructions, unless it's easier or necessary. My instructions will work within the Ubuntu system, instead of breaking or subverting it. Those are the three guarantees to the helpee.
