the editor battle continues...

[Daemon Knyte]

Watch out... another windoze user steps up... :P

I'm currently working fer a web dev/ hosting app company.. don't ask.
And they got me hooked on Homesite. I was able to obtain homesite 4.5 but 
for some reason.. I create custom quick tag inserts and it crashes. But 
anyway.. I digress...

Homesite is full HTML coding.. supports ASP, SQL, Javascript umm.. some 
other stuff.. and with a little adding of extensions here and there even 
PHP (homesite 4.5 recognizes php..but..). It offers color coding, gutter 
line numbering massive quick shortcuts, tag inserts, and you can create 
custom tags. It has it's own ftp integration (like MS Frontpage 2K but 
without having to use Frontpage Extensions). It offers a lot of other kewl 
shortcuts and tools (integrated preview with IE). If you don't wanna cough 
up the dough for Homesite... another program (freeware) actually resembles 
it... it's by evrsoft.com ... and it was called 1st Page 2000. I dl'd my 
copy from tucows. I don't know if it's up anymore however. :(
Now... I'm not trying to be a PLUG, but it sure got me away from frontpage 
and dreamweaver. I admit..frontpage had potential, but having to use 
frontpage extensions is a kinda minus IMHO. Oh yeah... It also ends having 
messy code (I prefer my way... heh..)

I'm running windows 2000 on my (currently) development box and my laptop 
(hence the eudora mail I'm sending at this time). But on my test box I have 
Mandrake 7.1 and so far, it's pretty kewl. I start up in command line.. but 
well.. don't know what else to do so I startx. :P

QUESTION: Is there any internal PCI modem that I can get that works well 
under linux (I'm a newbie.. flame me later)? If so, which one(s). As soon 
as I get my modem for it, and get everything to work, I'm actually thinking 
of going 75% linux (or bsd...whichever is fun-er) and have my entertainment 
box running win98 (for unreal, quake III, Alice, Thief II...).

Thanks fer all the help and emails. The information that gets sent all 
around is very interesting.

P.S. I edited webpages at HCC through PICO (waits for all the laughter to 
die down) and recently tried to do stuff with emacs (hangs head low).
