I have been using coolpage, a very simple program for building my site. I'll
have to give kwrite a try. I can supply the program if anybody wants it.
Naughty I know, the prog is windows based but does run on my Suse Linux 8
with a bit of persistence. Would apprieciate any advice on kwrite.
Dwi'n gallu I siarad Cymraeg hefyd.
Thanks/Diolch

Hi,
Concerning web design, I quite often use my Linux box for web design
- kwrite is one of the best text editors I've used in a while - without
any problems at all. The only exception to the rule is anything to do
with graphics, because I do them in Photoshop. That said, the GIMP is
supposedly very good (I've not tried). Certainly, if you're doing any
server-side stuff, Linux is far easier and better than Windows.
As for video editing - I can't help noticing that the feature in the
current issue of Linux Format is about that very subject...
Put it this way, I'm a Mac user, and I'm forever being told that Macs
"can't do" something I've been doing for a couple of years. The more I
sit down and actually -use- Linux (sadly not very often these days),
the more I find the same to be true. Now, if Adobe would release
Photoshop for Linux... ;)

Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for a while
and leave footprints on our hearts. And we are never, ever the same.

LXF is closer to 6 quid noq for the 2xcd copy and too many times they
forget to put the advertised software on the cd. As for content it is
pretty poor IMHO

Hi,
I haven't tried it, but I wonder if photoshop would run under WINE (I
know that WINE is a contraversial issue with some Linux people who want
native programs, but the possibility is there).
GIMP is a good graphical editor and its what I use for webpages, but I'm
not an artist so I couldn't say how well it would suit one. Many people
doing graphics on Linux are still using photoshop, so I guess they
prefer it over GIMP. However GIMP v2 came out recently which might be
worth a try. I believe that it now has more colour model support (which
should please the arty types) and generally has improved.
