Software Install, and recomendation?
So, now I enter the world of Linux (finally)
I've found a distro that works right with my computer (Fedora Core 5).
Problem is, I am a complete linux noob (other than I knew enough to install it and startx to get me into graphical mode)
I need some software recommendations. I would like to use this machine as my dev box, and need some kind of graphics software (I've seen Gimp around, any thoughts?) I also need some kind of web dev software similar to Dreamweaver in that I can connect to a FTP server and edit my pages as I need to, etc...any thoughts or recommendations?
I am also going to need my hand held while installing said software. As I said before, I am just about as new to Linux as it gets.

If you're familiar with Photoshop and are looking at gimp I'd recommend trying gimpshop (http://www.gimpshop.net/), basically it's an edited version of the gimp so that the menu layouts etc are more like photoshop.

thank you folks for your input. Looks like I have alot of reading to do :)
I like that GIMP, i've used a version of it for windows. I also like that BluFish, seems like it is what I am looking for
