My daughter let me install Ubuntu on her Toshiba laptop. Before she takes it with her to college next fall I'd like to assess whether to switch from Windows to Linux on my next development laptop.

I currently use Dreamweaver as my editor for HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files, but I've begun downloading and testing various Linux based editors in my spare time.

So far, an editor named Screem looks like the best choice. Interestingly, it doesn't have a WYSIWYG design surface, but I really like the auto-complete popups when keying tag names, attributes, and events associated with HTML and CSS elements. And closing tags are automatically inserted. Colors are helpful. And there are a lot of other features to assist those of us who haven't memorized everything that browsers do.

Are there other HTML editors I should be looking at? What about Eclipse? Or, an Eclipse plugin? I don't plan on doing any Java development. The Toshiba has only 768kb of ram. Would that be a deterant to evaluating Eclipse?
