Thanks, Mihael. I forgot to ask, but hoped that a few people might share their experience with Linux.
Most of my time is spent working on Web applications and I looked at Bluefish and Komposer HTML editors. Dreamweaver is such a full-featured IDE that it would be a stretch for me to leave behind, but I think it would be worth it. Your application list is helpful.
One of my complaints is that it seems that no matter how fast of a CPU you get, every year it runs slower because of the complexity of Windows software and runtime environments. Virus protection under Windows is a nuisance, but required. Is it required under Linux?
Nathan.
