Lindows Announces Nvu - Frontpage For Linux?

Posted by simoniker on from the beer-and-webauthoring-perfect-playmates dept.

CmdrStone writes "Michael Robertson, the Lindows founder, has announced in his 'Michael's Minute' newsletter that Lindows has started the creation of a Frontpage-type program for Linux, called Nvu." Nvu promises to be "...a complete Web Authoring System for Linux Desktop users to rival programs like FrontPage and Dreamweaver", is "100% open source", and will be free to download when it launches.

      Frontpage 2003 infact has a function to clean word generated html

    Hey, why don't you go suck a donkey's cock, then go burn in hell. If you need Macromedia, to design software to make websites that has picture of you fucking your 8 year old daughter, well then you should have your dick chopped off. Mod me up if you agree!

    I know there are a lot of geeks out there who will blast this effort as unnecessary--they are the same people who believe the best HTML editor is really a text-editor with an HTML quick-reference sheet handy...
