In the last sentence, should that read "trial in patience"? |

BTW, you've nicely nailed why I am so critical of Windows. My school provides me with a Expee desktop, which on occasion I must use. My patience has worn thin. Very, very, thin. And every day I find new ways to avoid relying on it. Much to my happiness. |

Yes it should - thanks for the correction. I type my non-technical posts in a hurry sometimes. ~Jeff |

Jeff, I split time between an XP desktop at the office and my Debian-running laptop. Dropbox has been a great help in this. I expect any other file-sharing/backup service that has Linux and Windows clients would also do this well. I use Filezilla for FTP on both Windows and Linux. I have Gimp, Inkscape, Thunderbird, Pidgin and LibreOffice on the Windows box. If it's cross-platform, I use it. While I have the Geany text editor in Windows, I prefer Notepad++ -- http://notepad-plus-plus.org/ -- a free/libre editor that's native to Windows. I use it constantly. |

Notepad++ is a great piece of software - I used it for many years when I was simply scripting in python before I found Linux. Shame it doesn't have a Linux client. ~Jeff |

Gedit would best Notepad++ if it added the following: -- Better change-case function (accessible via shortcut keys and not just the menu) -- Ability to search/replace across multiple open files |

Steven - The second can be added via a plugin for gedit. It is the first thing I do after installing it. ~Jeff |
