due to the uniqueness of our work, an IDE is probably not worth the expenditure and if I hear one more reference to vi I"m going to croak. These editors are far too weak to be considered for any type of serious work. even emacs is too weak to accomplish the task. we have a small number of users and currently most have linux workstations available to them.
I like the NFS export idea. The files need to live on the server and if that will allow me to use what's on the linux desktop to edit what's on the server database then I'd be quite pleased. I'll just need to learn what this file sharing is all about. thanks ----- Original Message ---- From: Mark Post <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU Sent: Thursday, March 8, 2007 4:58:21 PM Subject: Re: What is vnc >>> On Thu, Mar 8, 2007 at 5:57 PM, in message <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Warren Taylor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > For my RHEL4 on a VM guest, all I can see is using emacs through putty to do > our editing.

Am I stuck with putty > and emacs? There are probably more editors available for Linux than just about anything else. (I think Debian packages 42 of them, or some such large number.) There are the vi clones, such as vim or elvis. Then there's jed, joe, THE (can be made to look like XEDIT), and probably many more besides. If, by "heavy editing environment" you mean a software development shop, you may want to look into some of the various IDEs that are available. Myself, I would tend to go with a Linux desktop and mounting an NFS export from the system where the files need to live.
