Open Source WYSIWYG web page creation

[0iD]

Does anyone know of a good open source wysiwyg web authoring packages for Linux/BSD? Reason being I quite simply don't have the time to sit down & learn to code properly unfortunately. There just aren't enough hors in the day. I'd prefer not to sleep, but it's necessary

I have Gimp installed for graphics handling duties.

The problem is, Google doesn't tell you if they're any good or not, or if they're reliable programs.

actually, nvu seems to have improved drastically since i last tried it

Google bought up some similar questions on forums

then again software can be quite subjective - I might *love* some features of an application so I'll sing its priases so anyone that'll listen.

Very true, but I'd personally rather try recommended software, especially as a noob to Linux!

So, if you remove something, it actually removes it and doesn't leave a whole load of stuff in the reg and files lying about etc?

[directhex]

depends how you remove it, and your distro.

with debian, there are threee types of files - an application's data files, an applications' global config files, and your local user config files.

an "aptitude remove foo" removes the first of them. "aptitude purge foo" removes the first two. the third will always need manual removing, usually by deleting the folder/file ~/.foo
