I've been experiancing with linux a few months now, my slackware server is running for quite some time. (webserver/mailserver/webmail etc etc).
But offcourse i also want to use linux for a client. The most programs i use on this XP machine are also available (meaning: different programs but with the same functionality) on linux.
I just need a better Webdesigning tool than the one that default comes with slackware. Of course I could search the web for tools but this forum usualy gives the best answer to my questions
What webeditor do you use ?
(I make pages mainly in HTML, i also use PHP, and now and then i make some Flash movies) (Right now i am using Namo Webeditor (simple but effective) and Macromedia Dreamweaver) for the HTML pages and Notepad.exe :P for the PHP -scripting and off course Macromedia Flash for the Flash movies)
Originally posted by reddazz Whats the default one that comes with Slackware? Quanta is probably the best there is out there closely followed by Bluefish.
The default in Slackware is Quanta, and i must say after working again with it, a half our or so, it isn't that bad. (all about getting used to it i guess)
Are there also macromediaflash-like tools available for Linux ?
I don't really like flash, so never use it in any webpages I develop/design. If you do a search you may find something, if not and you really need flash on Linux, I think you can install it (and dreamweaver) using Crossover Office.

I trie to aviod flash as much as possible, i definitly don't like to base a whole webpage on flash but some features in flash (comibined with Swift 3D (really nice tool)) you can easily make some moving 3D thingies. I usually just use it to make a nice little logo for a website as i did with http://www.peterstransportveghel.nl
I'll see if i can find someting , and post it here if it's usefull.
"Tijdens FlashForward, een conferentie voor gebruikers van Macromedia's Flash-formaat, had Kevin Lynch, het hoofd van de softwareafdeling van Macromedia, bekend gemaakt dat binnenkort begonnen wordt met het optimaliseren van Flash MX voor Wine.
Wine is een emulatieprogramma dat het mogelijk maakt om windowsprogramma's onder Linux te laten draaien.
"Als dit aanslaat bij de gebruikers van Flash MX, wordt er waarschijnlijk ook een echte Linux-versie van dit programma uitgebracht" aldus Lynch."
Simple translation.:
During the FlashForward conference for users of Macromedia's Flash-format Kevin Lynch of the software department of Macromedia announced that they will soon optimize Flash MX for Wine.
If it's working ok there will also be a linux-verion available..
Oh, and for my picture editing on XP i use Paint Shop Pro (5 and 8) 5 for the speed and the simple editing and 8 (soon 9) for the cool stuff
