And its free..... :-)

But MS write exceedingly good software and (with their experience) given a
second chance they'll do even better (IMHO)

The lines are starting to blur though because while Microsoft will get some
feature rich stuff out long before Linux, it is inevitably more bugging and
shows they jumped the gun with releasing it (talking end apps and not dev
tools). I am trying to say that as unbiased as possible because there are
area's where nobody can hold a candle to Microsoft (i.e. I have yet to find
a solid replacement to Outlook 2007 in the Linux world that gives me as much
productivity which is why I am running Windows XP Pro via VirtualBox).

Wrong guy to ask...I carry one and both my sons are geeks...

Would I put my wife in front of Ubuntu? Yep. She knows how to run
email (Thunderbird) and Open Office in Windows so she wouldn't notice
much difference.

Linux has a pretty geeky rap but it is getting better and better as
Windows gets more and more bloated and "User Friendly" with great leaps
forward like Vista (he says with words dripping with sarcasm).

Sorry Pete

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?

Would you send someone to school with a Linux Laptop?

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?
