Basically, I can use everything just fine, but I have to unplug/plugin my Logitech Bluetooth dongle whenever I reboot. I'm honestly not sure if it's a problem with the OS, or that specific dongle. Let me know what you think of it when you get a chance to try it. In the year since, there have been two new versions of Kubuntu released, so I'm now running 8.04.

So after I got a FAST adsl line, I downloaded many difereent distros... Someone sugested PCLinuxOS 2007. If someone new in Linux tries that, there's no going back :) I hope I could use some other distros, but the simplicity of PCLinux (and the "Windows" feeling through it's KDE) make it superb. It runs LIVE and get's installed TOO easy (I've tried it to my 8 years old P3 256 ram, HP notebook, my 2 yrs Athlon64 desktop, even my P4 company desktop (Live CD), it's going without any problem everywhere while others distros (5 or 6 I've tried) wouldn't even boot. I will install it as dual boot in my Desktop (notebook is running LIVE for days, after a Hard Disk failure). I also have bluetooth only (Microsoft's) Keyboard & Mouse, would that work ok, is there something I should look after? I will have PCLinux as primary OS if bluetooth goes without problems.

I just re-installed windows with my custom DVD. It has all the updates and most drivers auto-installed, and the installer runs all by itself. The only thing I have to install afterwards is my collection of applications. You are right in that GIMP can do anything, if you learn how. I just re-installed windows with my custom DVD.

Kate is a very fine editor. Since you’re already in the KDE camp, check this Kate plugin http://protoeditor.sourceforge.net/index.php for an interactive PHP debugger. Kate is a very fine editor.

I have other programs for other languages when I need to. However, I haven't done anything but PHP in a few years (well, and Javascript, CSS, xHTML, etc) Unfortunately, once you have debugging, you don’t go back.

I always found that Zend Studio was a bit of an overkill for what I needed and it did not provide me the support that I needed for other languages. I rely upon the errors that the PHP server provides me for debugging. Since JEdit is free, you can try it and see if it works for you without worry. Not that I am aware of.
