[Wylug-discuss] Linux program recommendaitons to replace windows programs

[Christopher McLean]

Hi David,

jEdit is really one of the best open source, cross platform code editors (and general purpose):

http://www.jedit.org/

It does nearly everything via plugins so it can be as complex as you need

Subject: [Wylug-discuss] Linux program recommendaitons to replace windows programs

Hi All,
I was at the meetup last night at The Lord Darcy and it was good to see Andy, Graham and Darren again and to hear what everyone has been up to recently.

I've used Linux for a few years, but always on remote servers, using SSH and the command line to run services and fiddle around. I've recently taken the plunge to try Linux on my desktop and wanted to get some recommendations on what programs I might use to replace my traditional Windows programs.
So far the reccomendations from Andy and Graham have been:
MySQL GUI for remote maintenance, query building and monitoring:
Windows program I used: SQLYog
Linux program recommended: MySQL Workbench
Commander style GUI for file transfers over SSH:
Windows program I used: WinSCP
Linux program recommended: Filezilla
Text editor with syntax highlighting for PHP, Python and C++ coding:
Windows program I used: Sublime Text
Linux program recommended: Vim
Remote control software to remotely manage my parents computer (which I will be replacing with Linux)
Windows program I used: TeamViewer
Linux program recommended: TeamViewer
If anyone has recommendations for any of the above which they have experience with please let me know!
Thanks,
David
