Does anyone have any knowledge about this or other Linuxy website designing applications I wonder? ... and/or examples too?

Quanta Plus is a good coding tool for linux - it's what I use. That or a plain text editor.

Thanks LC - I shall investigate ... Presumably located in Synaptic?
(so it is! - He He!)

- Which version of Linux do you use pretty please? I'm with Mint Daryna presently, largely because of its driver support for nVidia Graphics Cards and wide screens!

I use Kubuntu (nVidia drivers come with the default install - I use an nVidia card)

Yeah, Quanta Plus is in the Synaptic Package Manager.

File under Midnight Linux Geeking!

IZ.

Hot and sticky tonight and much in need of a cool sea breeze.

Are the Kids out to play?

Just don't use Flash, thanks.

... I take it that it p*sses everyone off?

Don't know about everyone but it certainly has that effect on me.

I haven't installed Flash (it's tricky on 64-bit linux, and I've never felt the need). It's OK when used sparingly and in the right circumstances (I understand why YouTube use it, for example), but all-Flash sites are an abomination.

Ok, and not to worry, I won't inflict it on you ... Not that anyone is ever likely to see my feeble attempts should I ever get around to floating them ...

Getting & setting up a new computer is an ordeal these days.. not that it's particularly hard to do (I mostly install the same set of programs I have been using for the last decade on a variety of hardware architectures and systems, with updated versions, of course) but it's the frustratingly depressive hopelessness that clutches your soul when you see the utter crap that is peddled to us to pass off as 21st century software (and that includes all of Windoze, MacDOS and Lignux/Unix, where the latter is probably the most bearable still.) Where's the HAL9000, the blinking, shiny, homicidal AI we were promised. Where's the point? Even a 70ies command prompt on a serial terminal is more advanced for an intellectual mind than the incredibly dumb but shiny passive-end-consumer TV-style interface that is being hyped today. Disgusting. Welcome to zapper's heaven and hacker's hell. Welcome to Idiot Technology.

LLL is great - just stay well clear of ATI - nVidia only (graphics cards)! Linux is free, you gets loads of techy help, all the peeps are friendly, and it has a very bright future ... The 'transition' from Windoze or Mac ain't always trouble-free, but that's life, eh? Laptops/Ultraportables with a version of Lovely Luscious Linux pre-installed are a breeze - You can read/edit all of your .doc(x) & .jpeg files immediately and surf the 'net too ... Oh, and probably most important here: listen to your .wav & .mp3 files ...

I was referring to the new Acer Aspire One Ultraportable (Linux versions of course!) ...

Nothing wrong with Powerbooks at all, if you already have one or the money for a new one & Photoshop etc., but I don't and perhaps not all HL-ers do either?! Ultraportables or Laptop equivalents are getting really cheap now, and do practically all that you do ... Just an observation you understand ...

Aldi is a great store too for us impoverished but discerning types, but then again that is an advantage we Europeans have over Yankee Doodles, eh?!
