Both MS Money and Dreamweaver will work under Linux if you purchase Crossover Office (www.codeweavers.com) Crossover is a commercial version of Wine. You could use the standard free version of Wine, but it can be a lot harder getting apps to work. The guys at Codeweavers have done a great job at making Windows apps easy to install and run. (and they are the single largest contributor to the Wine project www.winehq.org ) As for Native Linux applications instead of MSMoney you can try Gnucash (on your CDs) www.gnucash.org, or Moneydance moneydance.com (non free), but personally I do not think they are as good as the Quicken I use under Crossover. As for a Dreamweaver alternative, I have never used it and do not know its capabilities. I make my web pages with Quanta (its on your CDs). Open Office also does a decent job of generating HTML.
