I need something for building webpages but can't really find something for building sites and editing HTML. Can anybody advise me on a program that may work well with Ubuntu? If it's not in apt-get I have no idea how to install it

Thanks a lot,
Adam

Nvu is a good editor. According to the Ubuntu site, it's not available as package, but there are clear instructions here

quanta is supposedly good.

I use Bluefish... http://bluefish.openoffice.nl/

Holly krap Pecunia I think that's in over my head! First I have no clue how to find a directory from the terminal nor do I know how to extract it if I could find it.

On top of that: " need to enable universe in Synaptic, do a reload and the search for the following package: libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2"

Yeah, um again no idea how to do that. That's why I was really trying to find something in apt-get, I'm a new user and while I'll learn this stuff in the next month or two I need some basic programs now as I have to keep my business going but have vowed not to use the other OS ever again.

Adam

if you dont care to use wine.... go HERE

Quanta is pretty good, easy to use gui.

Okay, one step back then: Mozilla Composer, it's part of the Mozilla Suite and Nvu is a spin-off of Mozilla Composer. I'm sure you can find the Mozilla Suite using apt-get

Thanks a lot all I got the Mozilla suite and it's all I'm going to need! Now any advice on something for zipping files? I was using CamUnzip or whater just fine but have no clue how to do it with Ubuntu. After that I'm fine for awhile.

Adam

how abuot "unzip" to unzip files... always a good place to start.

i always shudder when people ask for a FP clone... There are so many things about M$ software that end up sounding like cliches, this is crap, that's bloatware... but FrontPage?? now that's one thing i *KNOW* is a nasty sack of crap... the mess it's made of my code in the past.... html is easy. do it properly! if i'm feeling lazy i'll use bluefish, but just a plain text editor is good for me.
