Web editor 4 Mac, Linux & Windows

Cross platform compatible-open source web page composer. This app may look a little crude but the footprint of the installation makes up for it and it is FREE.

More Open Source Software

For you to try out and enjoy!

22 Most Useful Free Applications

A few of my personal favorites:

Instant Messaging: Digsby or Pidgin
Email: Mozilla Thunderbird
Internet: Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox (the adblock plus addon is great!)
Music: Winamp (I use pro, which requires some loot, but the standard version works just fine)
Videos: VLC player
Text/ html editing: Notepad++ (Eclipse is another good one)
Security: Technically not open source, but free to everyone at UNC with an Onyen. Symantec Antivirus (found here)

CSS GUI generator

I have not tried this but it looks like a good shortcut or atleast a good place to get color values.
