What programs do you use for editing pages in a linux enviroment?

[sidhosti]

gedit's pretty good. I use it on my linux virtual machine. It depend on what your writing in html? php?

Veni, VIdi, VIci... Julius Caesar got to use it twice in one sentence! Seriously, though, folks, vi is the original and best Unix editor. (Some say!)

Ahhh, yes, Caesar might have got to use it twice, but, using it capitalized like that will cause a: bash: VI: command not found or equivalent :D

i usually go with emacs or gedit in my ubuntu virtual box. i've tried vi and nano, but they didn't seem to like me :s

Well these are for gnome (gui) linux. But for command line?

emacs can be command line (i've used it in a ssh connection to the computer science server at my university). same with gedit.

Never played with emac. But thought gedit was for gui. Gonna give a try tonight with my new ssh2

i wouldn't suggest getting/using emacs. it's actually kinda hard to learn to use (eg. to save you gotta use ^x ^s, instead of just ^s).

I use vi and nano. Going to start learning on my development server

Really, the desktop you have installed does not make a difference. You can run all the Gnome stuff from the KDE desktop. And you can call them all from the command line. But if you want GUI based, then GVIM is the way to go ;) At least in my opinion.... then again, I am an old dog that dont like new tricks (unless they are of the hooker type... LOL).

learning the editor :)

I used to do develop in vi, and synchronize my local files to the web server with ftp, but now I prefer to use Aptana Studio to edit the file directly on the web server. By the way, it is also available for WIndows and Mac OS X.
