EXCELLENT FREE SOFTWARE.... Excellent FREE software for about everything you need on your computer. I was impressed with the quality of the software and how well it runs on my new computer. The WRITER software can even read and write .doc files so you can use your old documents made with Word. The download is a .iso file which is a CD disk image file. You can't view the file until you burn it onto a CD using the "Burn Image to Disk" option in Nero or similar options on other CD burning software. There are a number of great programs on the CD once you make it. Currently the file you download is: OpenDisc 07.10 Released! ~545 Mb. It will take a while to download. It took me about 47 minutes with my DSL connection. It is well worth getting.

All free open source software. The NVU html editor is very good. Also FileZill is an excellent ftp program. The Notpad2 is a very efficient text editor.

If the whole CD image file is too much. Here is a link to NVU for a free download.

Good Hunting... from Varmint Al

I was wondering about OpenCD, now your link answered it.

NVu is a good utility for n00bs. SoucreForge is good for Open Source software, also.

Best recommendation for a pure n00b though, is to get your websire from a host that has a multitutde of web learning and creation utilities, like allwebco.com for instance. They’ll hold your hand while your learn.

Good luck.
