What kind of web page editors are out there for linux, im lookin for somthin similiar to frontpage, is there anything out there like this, or should i just use wine, or something liek that to run ms office?
nvu seems to be the happening WYSIWYG editor. Based on, but apparently much different from, Mozilla Composer. OOo has a web editor, too. And, yeah, I guess wine is an option, but seems like a long way to go.
If you didn't need WYSIWYG, you could look into quanta (requires KDE), bluefish (max effects with Gnome, but only needs GTK), or versatile plaintext editors which have features for all kinds of text, like vim or nedit. I use bluefish, nedit, and vim as the mood or system conditions strike.
Are you running a graphic environment as normal user and do those root commands via a terminal? Then you might want to try running it as normal user though it's strange you don't get any errors.
