  1. but you can run it off Gnome but you have to install a fwe KDE components :/ i've used Quanta. good editor but i prefer Vim. also Quanta has this really weird KDE UI...those chunky things with a lot of bevel on it :/ i suppose i'll need to use KDE to actually theme that UI eh?
  2. well, i've been experimenting with a lot of Linux based text editors lately and i find myself settling down with Vim. a close second would be Bluefish which is pretty damn good too...accept that it has a bunch of features that i don't really need...all those WYSIWYG features just adds to the clutter. i like wide simple UI's to work in Vim was a little hard to get used to with all those awkward keys...but it's just like riding a bike once you get used to it, almsot impossible to forget even if you wanted to. one very important thing about Vim (for me at least) is the fact that you can apply colour schemes. kinda useful when you sometimes sit for over half the day at the PC, coding because now you can make the background colour dark or even black and the text a contrasting colour...really helps maintain the 20/20 vision well anyway, i just wanted to say that i did a search for Vim on WikiBooks and the content there really helped me. the Vim manual has more detailed but somehow, the Wiki data was easier to read through. hope this helps someone
  3. Excellent. Thanks for replying to my PM I bought the second edition of the PHP bible about a year back. It helped me a bit but I don't like it. I feel it's too vague. I also own the XML bible and Administering Apache by Mark Arnold (it was a gift) and a bunch of Flash books which I don't use because I also stopped working with Flash over a year ago. I've decided to purchase these two books: 1. sams php and mysql web development 2. developers library advanced php programming The second one would be quite useful for me. I'm looking for something like that, that has information and design patterns and methods of programming and things like that. I'm actually looking for a guide to modular based programming. I found this link via the signature of a mod on this forum and I found it useful if anyone is interested: The Art of Unix Programming. I've also been searching for resources on the web for information on Kernel Architecture in general. My aim being, I want to learn good programming practices/concepts when it comes to building a module based, PHP written engine for anything from a CMS system to a simple website. I'm really learning a lot from the Apache architecture for that sort of thing. I browsed your site a bit...so you're into XML as well? I was experimenting with WDDX a while back and it popped into my mind again the other day. Have you tried it? If so, have you come accross any unusual uses for it apart from the general uses? If anyone can recommend any good books or online resources (preferred), then please do Much appreciated. Thanks. Bane, (Koobi, Housni Yakoob)
