There are many different possibilities, more or less overloaded, more or less sophisticated ;-) My personal favourite is XEmacs, because it's highly keyboard-oriented (good for 10-finger-typing or what it's called in english) and you can do everything from it (compile and jump to the error in the source, single-step with source trailing for gdb, play tetris etc... ;-) The difference between Emacs and XEmacs are not really that big, just XEmacs looks a little bit more user-friendly, although it's nearly the same. Other people would say, vi/vim/gvim is better for programming, because less useless stuff in it, faster, can do anything you want from compiling to cooking coffee as well as emacs, keyboard oriented too, just question of witch flavour you like more. KDevelop is an IDE for unix, mainly for C/C++ programming. I haven't used it, but I think it's more like borland or visual studio, a little bit more intuitive usage. Then there are several tools, that may enhance your programming enrivonment, like ddd, a graphical debugger (if you don't like gdb). So may I conclude that in the end the best would be, if you look at (X)Emacs and the enhanced features of vim - but don't get lost ;-) - and than find out, if you like KDevelop more, but I think most people here are using either vi or emacs, which support most of the other tools you need. I think the freebsd developers handbook could give you some additional hints, you can read it at <a href="http://www.de.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/index.html">http://www.de.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/index.html</a>; and if you still have some capacities free, while you read, you could start a german translation of it on the fly ;-))) On Fri, 21 Feb 2003, Clemens Hermann wrote: > what are your favourite editors for coding C?
