    If you want to spend money, I've read that codeweavers crossover office
    (www.codeweavers.com) handles Dreamweaver and Fireworks MX pretty well
    on Linux.

    I've installed Screem (I think I got it at http://yarrow.freshrpms.net)
    I haven't been using it, but it looks like a combination of Adobe
    Pagemill and Netscape Composer. I'm almost sure it can't compete with DW
    MX but you can try that. It *IS* WYSIWYG

    Ok, basically I should of said 'design a heavily graphical site
    _efficently_.

    I'm sure you can create a site with a text editor (and I do it
    sometimes over SSH if I'm out of measures) and it will work fine.

    However, I use Dreamweaver because a) it has a half decent 'source' tab
    to edit with (which I do most of my stuff in) and b) I can lay stuff
    out graphically without constantly having to redo CSS. Also, I find
    that being able to use split screen code and design view allows me to
    code as I usually would but also have the benifit of not having to
    save, go to a webbrowser and refresh every 15 seconds is a great
    benifit.

    Also, there is a real lack of vector based graphic tools (like
    Fireworks) on Linux. I can't stand using The GIMP or Photoshop for
    anything more than editing a photo.

    It's also good to see a fellow Apple user here :), btw.
