You know, I read all of the posts that were written regarding whether or not Linux was ready for the desktop and ready to compete with Mickeysoft.
Guess what? I don't think so yet. Let me give you a for instance. This morning I was looking for a HTML editor that had a few bells and whistles to make the job easier. I went to the TUCOWS site and examined the offerings.
Maybe you should avoid sites rooted in Windows shareware. For Windoz, there were so many programs
offered that it was hard to make a choice. I then proceeded to the Linux section. I immediately got suspicious when there was not presented a clear cut choice. It seems that HTML editing is not straight forward. You are presented with four (4) categories, each category embellished with a photograph of a good looking young man or woman. What those categories or the photos have to do with the software is beyond me.
Try http://freshmeat.net/appindex, I quickly found bluefish and coffecup and there are plenty more. Not to mention the long available Netscape Composer. Check the appindex under /X11/Editors, /Gnome, /KDE, and /web/development.
I don't want to write HTML in vi.
