You don't need a Linux GUI, just the X Server (there is a link to download
the free Windows X server on the site btw) and LessTif libraries (also has a

Of course, only an experienced nix user who is also an experienced windows
user could really understand that. So yes, NEdit is probably best for the
Linux/FreeBSD programmers. Nothing wrong with that, tho.
