First off although I have used Linux on the server side for several years I am still a bit of a novice on the Linux Desktop side, but I find myself growing more and more tired of the M$ crap. Anyway I am looking for a good reccomendation for a PHP Dev tool similiar to Dreamweaver or something. Main things are syntax highlighting, etc. Just looking for what you think is the best and why.

Thanks

I've used Komodo and Bluefish, and found them both to be pretty good.

They're code editors, not WYSIWYG.

Komodo is not open source, and you have to pay for it. So you may have to hide any pictures of RMS hanging on your walls when you use it. I used to have an RMS bobble head, but everytime I used Komodo, his head would spin and bobble like crazy, even when I put a blanket of GPL-cloaking (Level 22) over his head.

That is fine, I really have no use for a WYSIWYG. I will give them a try.

Thanks !

Gedit which comes with Gnome is good, and probably all you need.

Two GREAT ones;

Anjuta IDE (http://freshmeat.net/projects/anjuta/) (More Gnomeish)
Quanta Plus (http://freshmeat.net/projects/quantaplus/) (More KDEish)

Good stuff, my friend! Quanta Plus is deffinitely eye candy!!
