YMMV! On that note, I highly recommend SciTE as a GUI text editor available on all platforms, with syntax highlighting. As far as IDEs, both Eclipse and the Jetbrains tools -- I use RubyMine daily and have used PHPstorm and others -- are highly dependent on Java. Take care when choosing such tools, and be prepared for problems. Start at the very simple level, as I said. Learn the FreeBSD boot process, the startup sequencing -- /boot, rc, and rc.d are great starting points. -- Don Wilde **************************************************** * What is the Internet of Things but a system * * of systems including humans? * ****************************************************
