I don't think there're any webdesign software as DW for Linux system.
Maybe you can find some by Google. happy.gif

Here are some WYSIYG editors that are LINUX compatible:

Bluefish

Screem

Quanta

NVU

Try them out biggrin.gif

Yap! all these should do it but it depends on what's your level in web design:can you write code or just used with visual interface?Quanta Plus and Bluefish are very good but you have to code all your pages yourself.NVU is nice but doesn't compare to Dreamweaver but it's free and can do many things;
I don't know if it works but you can try using Wine or Crossover or similar as they've got a windows API clone that runs Win code;or at least you can ask in their forums for help.
Try http://www.winehq.com/

ok,as i check almost every day news on linux a've just checked in wineHQ web site and out of curiosity,remmembering your post,i checked if there is anything related to dreamweaver there...and there was:http://appdb.winehq.org/
Seems like versions 4.x are fully supported and run flawlessly.Check it out!

Software is different between windows and linux
and i think you can not find one software in 2 os
becuase interface and api in 2 os is different

It depends on how good the programmers who made the software were, or more specifically how well they abstracted the program from the platform. Decent software puts at least one layer between the functionality and the OS APIs so if they port the software and the API's don't exist, they can write new code in the interface layer to fix it up. Irrelevant here, don't try to confuse all the n00bs tongue.gif

(Oh, and there's plenty of examples of web software that's cross-platform. Zend Studio runs on literally anything, Windows, Linux, or Mac OSes and x86, PPC, Alpha, Sparc... nice example of cross-platform software. Dreamweaver runs on OSX and Windows natively, and old versions on WINE. Bluefish runs on anything. N|vu runs on anything.)

anyway, if you just want to maintain a website, and you aren't using PHP, n|vu should do an okay job. If you're more advanced and know you way around HTML, get Bluefish. And if you have money to burn and serious skillz0rz, pay for Zend.

In Linux, we a software called CROSSOVER OFFICE which will run almost any MS Based applications, Dreamweaver is not officially supported but runs flawlessly with a little tweaking on configuration. You can also Install MS Office (upto v2003) and use FRONTPAGE. Flash runs flawlessly too on Linux using Crossover Office.

Thou its not free, its cheaper than windows, and doesn't break your dreamweaver license.

dreamweaver will never come out for linux especialy becuase adobe owns macromedia now.
there is a program for linux called nvu, that might have come with your linux or you can download it free. it should suit all your website building needs.

Linux and Windows speak different languages. You cannot run a program that speaks Windows on a desktop OS that speaks Linux. It is more complex than this. Try Bluefish, Komposer, or Quanta.

Also there is wine. Wine acts like translator between a windows program and a linux based OS. I think it now has around 98% accuracy. I have not tried it though.

I encourage you to use an open source alternative. It may not be as developed as dreamweaver, but there is a quicker response to bug issues and if there is something you want added in the next version you can simply contact the developers and have them put it on the next release.

I use both Mac OS X (Tiger) and openSUSE on my work computers. I script heavily in PHP and mySQL. Having used the CS3 on my Mac I did get it to work under Crossover. That is the best way to go because you will be able to grow better with the Creative Suite. If you are a hobbyist then just stick with Quanta.

I have been using Zend for over a year and its completely inappropriate for all aspects of web design. Although its good for editing PHP its HTML/CSS/JavaScript editing abilities are non exisitent, you may as well be using notepad.

I was googling around and found Aptana from www.Aptana.Org along with Quanta Plus at http://quanta.Kdewebdev.Org

Both appear to be very good IDEs for web development although I have not yet tried them out but will. Hope this comment helps someone out in locating the right tools they are seeking.

Well, I personally feel that Quanta Plus that I've used on Mandrake linux free distribution was quite good and can be used by hobbists. Zend Studio can also be used for php script writing that you haven't mentioned here.

Not being involved in serious web development I haven't used many different php ides but still I won't suggest you to use Nvu.
