Well, maybe you can suggest a solution to /my/ problem. I opened an 
account with "IPowerWeb," which has some rudimentary web-site-building 
editors that function in a back-office fashion. However, they do allow 
the creation and editing of Web pages on my own hardware, and the 
publication of those pages to their server space. They have "Front Page" 
extensions, too--but I don't want to bother with MS Front Page if I 
don't have to.

Should I just stick with the back-office editing tools that IPowerWeb 
provides? And if I find that those don't do enough for me, what sort of 
editor do you recommend?

PS: IPowerWeb uses FreeBSD as their server OS. It's not exactly Linux, 
but if I understand correctly, it's close.
