I used NoteTab Light for a while on Windows and after switching to Linux
I've been using gedit which also uses a tabbed layout but it does not
have the powerful search and replace abilities in NoteTab. However, gedit
does have the feature of color coding html tags and perl elements, which
NoteTab cannot do.

Does anyone know any good alternatives to gedit and NoteTab that would run
on Linux? I've tried NoteTab in wine but its just not the same. I would
really prefer a program meant to run on linux rather than using wine.

Emacs, Xemacs, Gvim, the list is practically endless.

Hop over to comp.editors and ask, that's what they do there.

You might want to look at wyoEditor http://freshmeat.net/projects/wyoeditor/

I've used the windows version and it's pretty nice.

You could also do a search on "tabbed editor" on freshmeat, for more
editors to check out.

EditPad Lite comes in a Linux version

http://www.editpadlite.com/linux.html

<quote>
EditPad for Linux is compatible with most recent Linux distributions,
including SuSE 7.x and 8.x, Mandrake 7.x, 8.x and 9.x and Red Hat 8.x and
9.x. EditPad for Linux will only run on a computer with an x86 CPU from
Intel or AMD. PowerPC (PPC) systems are not supported. EditPad for Linux
also requires XFree86. Both KDE and GNOME desktops are supported.

there are many editors available for linux (search your install program)
and there is
E M A C S

everything you need (for me: spelling, unlimited undo, recover session,
split-window, syntax-highlightning, bracket/parenthesis matching,
auto-indent (style selection), cvs-frontend (diff, merge ...),
hex-editor, info-reader, calendar, calculator, mail-client,
news-reader, even web-browser ;-) - and more (games, psychiatrist,
screen-saver)
if you use it under windows you get an extra eshell ;-)
