A few programs?
« on: 13 November 2002, 10:04 »
Hey all, curious about this..
Ive used Dreamweaver MX (and a few games) On the boxes i use at school, and i used to use Dreamweaver MX at home for my web design (Better than notepad   ), but there is no version of Dreamweaver for Linux, sadly.

What i want to know is what way you would suggest i use to allow me to use Dreamweaver MX etc etc on my linux box?

For informational purposes, i run Mandrake 9.
i know about VMWare etc.. but i want to know if there is anything better?

Cheers

Personally I believe notepad to be superior to any WYSIWYG editor. And 100 times better than notepad on the same lines is VIM.

But if you are stuck in the WYSIWYG rut then there are a couple of options. There is Quanta Plus Web Development Environment. Quanta is included with RedHat 8.0. Don't know about Mandrake.  Also the new Mozilla's Composer is very nice.

As for running it, I don't think you'll find anything better than vmware. You can try it for 30 days, I love it. I'm going to be buying it whenever I can save up enough money (after my modem that is).

VMware worked perfectly for me on RH7x but it's not performing the greatest under RH8. Everything works, it justs that it's hogging far more CPU under RH8. I have been reading up on the VMware forums and this apparently has to do with some kernel patches that RedHat added in 8.0. I could recompile my kernel without those patches and probably be back to excellent performance but I've been too lazy.

It's actually been a blessing in disguise because I find myself not loading up Windows in VMware at all any more. Not just because of the performance issue, but because RH8 is so much better I've been able to fully convert my family to RedHat. But I do still use VMware for things like booting CD images and other operating systems and for testing. Maybe RedHat will have this sorted out in 8.1 or VMware will have a patch soon depending on whos fault it is. There is a workaround for the performance issue but it didn't seem to help me that much.

the only reasons i would need VMWare is for Dreamweaver MX, Adobe Photoshop 7, and Games..
Some of which i believe won't run anyhow.. DirectX emulation isn't the greatest to my knowledge.

I don't like the idea of Windows, but i figure if i can emulate the few things i do like, it's worth having about.
Otherwise.. i only need to play music, DVDs, and DivX

I remember running older versoin of dreamweaver and photoshop in wine. Maybe the new versions will work, too.

Of all the options here finding a Native Linux WYSIWIG would be best for you. Failing that you could run VMware, but thats expensive. Or you could use wine which is free.

Information on setting up Dreamweaver in wine can be found on www.frankscorner.org

Now it's your call...

yeah, but the three (or four i suppose) card trick of mozilla composer, openoffice.org and either quanta or bluefish is all you'll need i think.

Agreed.
I can use the text only editors just as well.
so i now use pure linux based apps.
easier than emulating.. and if i really need something from Winblows, i can still get hold of it..
personally i never went with the WYSIWYG of Dreamweaver, i liked other aspects, organization..
But i found programs that do the same in linux, so all is well.

Thanks again

yes it will. and so will bluefish i think. screem looks like it's a bit pants though. i've run it only once, because it crashed that time, which sucks if you have unsaved work.

Whatever happened to Emacs or Vi??  They both work great to write whatever type of code you are concocting.  Notepad (the only stable $hitblow$ app) writes that fine, as well. But, Vi and Emacs actually adhere to the concept of incapsulation, something that the M$ fools never incorporate in their pathetic attempts at programming.

Maybe it is time for a switch?
