Yes I mean a desktop environment. ACtually on my lap I am under Windows XP-Pro. Instead of notepad I am using a very old bYT EXCELLENT EDITOR QEDIT and its STR version QTSR. I have been using that editor since clipper and pascal times... anyway. I am looking for something more developer alike (if I can say that) for the PHP environment. The Freebsd production environment has not graphical interface. My virtual machine has not either. This something I need and want to decide, if I need to go graphical under Freebsd or another , I can do it but if possible would like to stay with my lap as it is since I have a couple of clients that I do maintenance to their systems and are developed under a tool that only can be used under windows..... As I said I can buy a tool if need it but not too expensive of course :=) Thanks to all for the comments. Jorge Biquez
