Not to put a downer on this, but is the certificate worth anything? Wouldn't your son be better off having a go at building a website and learning from practical experience and the plethora of (free) information available? That aside, I'd agree that all the course equipment requirements could be met with the FOSS software you suggest (or any one of the myriad alternatives), with the exception of FrontPage. If you don't have it then you won't be able to take advantage of the many "FrontPage extensions" that impart a richness to your visitors' internet browsing experience that cannot be equalled. (nVu is okay I suppose, but vi[1] is adequate) A [1] or emacs
