Hello.

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.
