(I'm a student at a school, and use Linux (only on boot CD/laptop unfortunately, ATM) for everything.)
The point:
The problem is that Frontpage and all these books are an unecessary product that's been created, mostly out of FUD. E.g.: "Oh noes, we need to create a website! But that's awfully technical - we'd better buy a £500 piece of software!!"
There's nothing difficult to HTML, it's always been designed to make sense to humans.
(The part of web design that is difficult is getting based pages to render in IE.:P)
Anyway, I was under the impression that the W3c (tim berners lee etc.) had very altrustic ideas in mind for web markup - it's meant to be compeltely free and open to use, so people can communicate, without reliance on $evilcorporation's products.
There's nothing more complicated to HTML than "this is a heading, so wrap it in <h1>" and "this is a link"...
