HTML Code Convert [htmlcodeconvert.sourceforge.net] looks to be a very useful.

HTML Code Convert helps speed up the conversion of HTML code into different format including Java Script, JavaServer Pages, Microsoft ASP, PHP, Perl, and the UNIX Shell. It is particularly useful in CGI scripting.

wanting to read up on Red Carpet, I came across this link:

BTW, there is a very nice GUI front end for apt-get, Synaptic [nongnu.org]. The Apt system does a great job of keeping Debian up to date.

While I'm sure most RedHat users already know this, apt-get is available to RedHat users (rpm based) and so is Synaptic. It is not a Debian only thing.

The Apt sytem is a wonderful tool indeed. Very easy to install packages and keep a machine current for those packages.
