Installing Dreamweaver in Ubuntu
2008 January 10
When it comes down to code editors I’m a bit obsessed in finding the perfect tool for the job. Back when I was using Windows, I tried several code editors for PHP. PHP Expert Editor was my first editor. I also tried PHP Designer, Komodo, PHPEd, Maguma and of course Dreamweaver. You can find a good list of PHP editors here.
When I switched to Ubuntu I avoided installing windows based software in Linux using Wine. I didn’t became comfortable with some of the Linux-based editors so I decided to install Dreamweaver in Ubuntu. I did a basic Google search and found this very practical way of installing Dreamweaver in Ubuntu. So without wasting any second I installed Dreamweaver using Wine and to my delight everything went okay.
I’m not expecting this would be the perfect setup for me but as of now everything is a-ok! I’m still on my quest to search for the holy grail of PHP editors! Until then… Happy coding!
