For my RHEL4 on a VM guest, all I can see is using emacs through putty to do our editing. (we are a heavy editing environment). I have managed to used gedit from a linux desktop but that was somewhat painful and now refuses to work at all (but I don't really miss its instability). Am I stuck with putty and emacs?
Linux on your desktop is good. If you "must run Windows" then Linux under virtual PC might do. If those are forbidden to you, you may prefer putty and vim: I don't like emacs, and I did make a decent effort to accustom myself to it. A little while ago I derided the idea of copying a remote file to the local host, changing it and putting it back. However, I subsequently decided that in my case it's sensible, and wrote a short script to facilitate it. There's also the possibility of exporting (some) filesystems using Samba, and making the changes with notepad (does it work for Unix fileendings?). I'm assuming if you're doing lots of edits, it's not just system files:-) -- Cheers John -- spambait [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please do not reply off-list ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
