mikejr Posted March 14, 2004 Report Share Posted March 14, 2004 It looks like the switch just might take :) I have a work around for all of my other windows based apps except these. I understand that Gimp is a decent replacement for PS? Fron what I've seen the learning curve is a bit steep and I don't seem to have the agility I have in PS. Is there anything better? As for DWMX, I have installed Crossover, but I can't seem to find a place to download Dreamweaver MX... I have a few older discs with trial versions on them I think, but the file structure is unusable so I'm told. Are there any native linux programs that even come close to DW?

fuzzylizard Posted March 14, 2004 Report Share Posted March 14, 2004 For Photoshop, there is The Gimp. Although, as you say, the learning curve is steep. As for Dreamweaver MX 2004 - No, you will never find anything on LInux that comes close to matching it. There are a few text based editors that are nice - Quanta, bluefish - but they lack any form of wysiwyg layout ability or any form of project management. Out of interest, how can you be looking to replace Dreamweaver on your computer if you are looking for a place to download it from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinynorman Posted March 14, 2004 Report Share Posted March 14, 2004 Nvu is sponsored by Lindows, and according to the website, aims to be 'a complete Web Authoring System for Linux Desktop users to rival programs like FrontPage and Dreamweaver'. Version 1.0 is imminent, apparently... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikejr Posted March 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2004 Out of interest, how can you be looking to replace Dreamweaver on your computer if you are looking for a place to download it from? Crossover does not support DWMX04. I upgraded from Ultra Dev to 04 - skipping regular old MX... Crossover supports MX. I can still boot up XPprof and use DW04 - looks like I'll need to.

fuzzylizard Posted March 14, 2004 Report Share Posted March 14, 2004 That makes sense. Hey, if Macromedia is serious about there claim of supporting Linux, there may come a day when you can buy Dreamweaver MX 200x for Linux :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikejr Posted March 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 That would be the day that I finally had no use for Windows. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghil Vertefeuille Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 NVU seems quite nice. Gonna try it out soon :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikejr Posted March 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 I saw that - but couldn't figure out how to install it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghil Vertefeuille Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 that's what I'm actually checking...maybe in the site lies the answers :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pipplo Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 (edited) IT's pretty simple... download this http://cvs.nvu.com/download/nvu-0.17.tar.gz extract it and run nvu within there. I needed to install this rpm to get the libstdc++-libc6 file that it asked for http://rpmfind.rediris.es/rpm2html/mandrak...83mdk.i586.html After that it worked fine. Now i just have to decide where to keep it on the disk other than my home dir Edit: In review it's ok, but it is NOWHERE near as powerful as dreamweaver MX. The project management is just not there.... Edited March 18, 2004 by pipplo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
