HTML creation:  nedit, emacs, or vim with syntax highlighting.  Keep a
Netscape window open so you can preview your work.  StarOffice and
Netscape Composer give you WYSIAMWYG[0] at the cost of being incredible
resource hogs/crashing.  IBM's working on something called "TopPage" but
it's not finished yet.  Check http://freshmeat.net/ and do a search for
"HTML editor" for more info.

Graphics:  Bitmap editing = the GIMP.  Raytracing = POVRay or blender.  
Not sure about vector graphics, though there is xfig.

FTP:  Pick one, any one.  gftp is nice, very WS_FTP like if you're
familiar with that.  ncftp is great on the command line.

vi or emacs are useful for creating the content, if you are wanting to convert
from one format to another, you may need one or more of sed, awk or perl.

The Gimp is AFAIK the best graphics editor for Linux.  It is super powerful,
I have used it for my web graphics, and only scratched the surface of its
capabilities.

For web content creation and vector-graphic
editing, take a look at ivtools (http://
www.ivtools.org).  For a complete list of vector-
graphic editors look here:
