I am using Linux more and more every day. My question is......----------since I am a NEWBIE :) ---------- Does anyone have any suggestions for good programs that would be of use to web designers and html coders like myself?
I guess I am refering to such things as QTview ........ http://gqview.sourceforge.net/ as mentioned by several people for an image viewer. ~~~Thanks for the link guys! I am not interested in views or comments on text editors or wyswyg editors...... That gets into a thread in and of itself in a hurry :) More like programs that don't default into the normal mandrake setup and might not be on one of the 3 download version cd's. Here are the programs I am using now........ HTML Editor---------bluefish/quanta plus/text editor FTP Program--------gftp~~[good] Image Editor---------gimp~~~[awsome:)] Image Viewer--------qtview~~~~[really good!] Browsers-------------Opera/Netscape/Konqueror/Mozilla/Galeon ___________________________________ I wasn't looking for an image viewer when I was reading the mailing list emails........and what a great find gtview was! I suggested Nautilus........but qtview is nicer......and faster. I guess that's what I am inquiring about......anyone have any other hidden gems that you could point me to?????????? ___________________________________ On a side note: These are all in all WONDERFUL programs ! Windows counterparts are selling for more money than I have the inclination to spend for my part time hobby :) Using Linux...... they are FREE ! Gimp being a great example.....but qtview and gftp(better ftp available?) are great in their own right also. Yeah~~ I'm a GUI Junkie !! :) Does that=Linux Newbie?? :) It simply amazes me that most LINUX programs are free......and that the quality of the programs rival or are better than most windows counterparts. If you factor in the BILLIONS spent on windows and windows programs.....vs the amount spent on LINUX ...... well i am in awe of what has been accomplished. I just wish I had started learning Linux many years ago. My hat is off to the Mandrake guys--and gals ......... you have made my stepping over to the Linux world less intimidating and have made this Operating System more USER friendly. I hear alot of complaining/suggesting on this list........ (which is okay) ,because that provides insights for improvement, but I wanted you to hear a big: THANK YOU -- GREAT JOB ! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK !!! >From me, -- Dave Crouse Running Mandrake 8.1 IBM Intellistation E Pro 450 mghz 750 mb ram
