HTML editor

2000-12-23 Thread Michael Dickey
Any suggestions for a good HTML editor that does color highlighting & understands PHP? My favorite editor is HomeSite, and I have yet to find anything comparable for Linux. I've tried running HomeSite with WINE, but haven't gotten that to work :( thanks for any suggestions. Michael ___

Serial port problems

2001-03-25 Thread Michael Dickey
I am having trouble getting the serial port on my laptop to work. I have a Dell Latitude running potato. The port works fine when I boot into Windows - it is Com1 at x03F8, irq 4. I have had no luck getting it to work in Linux, however. After boot, "dmesg" gives me: . . . Serial driver version 4

Go to http://kde.debian.net - there you will find the lines to add to your /etc/apt/sources.list file. You won't get KDE 2.2 for Potato, but the 2.1 that you can get is pretty solid. If you want 2.2 you will have to upgrade to Woody, - not recommended if you are doing it specifically for KDE, since
