Re: Looking for Ubuntu HTML Editor

I made the assumption that everyone on this list (and every business I have

ever known) has access to a computer running Windows! Silly mistake I know?

I think he was referencing Nathan's original post asking for Linux
solutions.

Would you send someone to school with a Linux Laptop?

I am grooming my kids for it. Have them running Linux as their boot OS and
then run Windows in a virtualized way using VirtualBox for apps that just
don't work on Linux (which aren't many being they mostly use the internet).
My kids are fairly young though, so college is a ways off :-) The funny
thing is that at grade school they use Macs, in my office they use Ubuntu,
and when they use the wife's laptop they use Windows XP, and they don't skip
a beat, they just search around until they find what they want. Hope to be
switching the wife over to Ubuntu in about a month once I find a browser
based replacement for Quicken 2005.

I was surprised at how easy the basics have become in Linux (I didn't touch
them for about 4 or 5 years). It is when I try to get the more complicated
things to work that I have issues. Linux still has a way to go, but from
the progress I have seen I think Microsoft better watch out because it sure
is nice and cheap.

Runs on Linux!? That would be a first for Microsoft!

I think it is limited to Windows platforms from what I could read.

Actually MS Visual Web Developer Express 2008 (Free Download) also copes
with being a very good HTML editor?

Might not be the way YOU want to go but worth a try!

Subject: [WEB400] Looking for Ubuntu HTML Editor

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?
