I installed the Nvu HTML editor on my Ubuntu system. I used these
directions:

-sudo apt-get install libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 (the only dependency it
needed, luckily it was obtainable from a repository).

-Download nvu-0.81-pc-linux2.6.10-gnu.tar.bz2
-cd to directory it was saved to
-sudo tar jxvf nvu-0.81-pc-linux2.6.10-gnu.tar.bz2 -C /opt/
-/opt/nvu-0.81/nvu

That last command runs the program! I was suprised how easy it was. I
thought I was going to have to do that make/configure procedure.

Unfortulately I don't like this program and I want it gone. The support
file is an easy apt-get uninstall, but I wasn't sure about the other.
Most of the info I found was for apt-get which I don't think would work.
  I heard that removing a Linux program was as easy as deleting the
directory (/nvu-0.81), in contrast to Windows where the program is
spread throughout the system like cancer.

While I'm on the subject, any recommendations for an HTML editor that
has an integrated FTP client that shows local and remote file trees?
Also if it has some PHP tools built in that would be a plus.
