I somehow made a booboo with my harddrive's MBR two days ago, and now I can't boot any Windows anymore. I'm beginning to just love Linux, but it's not as easy to code on this platform yet. I miss EditPlus2, but now that I found BLueFish and that I have installed a recent Apache/PHP/MySQL combo, things should be back to normal in a few days.
Also, to anyone who knows me on ICQ, please message me. I cannot import my contact-list from Windows and I don't remember all your e-mail addies. Other than that, things should be ok.

It may be possible to get Windows back. I don't know your situation, but you could try editing your lilo.conf file if you use LILO to boot your computer.
[example addition to /etc/lilo.conf file]
other=/dev/hda2
label=NT
table=/dev/hda
just make sure that /dev/hda2 is pointing at the partition with Windows on it. And, no, it is not necessary for you to have Windows NT.
After editing run /sbin/lilo
Hope that helps.

don't use windows.
i'd be suggesting you try jedit... which is kind of good, or you could just simply break down and buy a mac with os x and develop from there.

unix is by far easier to code, michel. linux is the same, just a less-functional copy.

I'm talking about usable text editors. I hope jEdit is OK on Unix, as it was a sluggish excuse of an editor on Win2k's java. If not, I might just go code in nEdit.
Or I can spend three months getting used to Emacs's abominations of user-unfriendliness.
Julian, I would run Lilo anytime, if my computer didn't block on startup. It displays "LI" and stops. So I can only boot with a floppy. Doesn't matter much, I only had to boot twice since I'm on Linux.

emacs is easy 
jedit works wonderfully on os x, we've got java 2 installed here... windows xp = 0

hey, don't say this, I just fetched an archive of the default wallpapers in XP, they rock ! they're quite the only thing I like in XP, actually. "ah", I said, "nice green hill ! now what's that confusing block that pops up on the start button ? a Florida vote bulletin ?"

uh? i know the new xp wallpapers are great -- os x's suck. but that's wallpaper only,
and xp = 0 means that java doesn't even ship with xp itself.

Try Emacs, it's really the best editor for developer out there. I'm using it for translating other peoples software (i18n, gettext), to write my HTML and PHP and I've alos started to use it's version control functions which allows me to keep track of my code and also generates a ChangeLog if I need

With all the emacs hyping here, I just /have/ to mention vim (and start an editor flamewar while I'm at it). Unlike emacs, you don't have to press Escape - Meta - Alt - Control - Shift all the time Screen + Vim + Ctags/Cscope rocks as a development environment.
