- is it possible to use NIOS2 IDE (Eclipse + gnu tools...) under coLinux (let&#39;s say under KDE) ?

- if yes, is it faster than the window version, because Eclipse/IDE under Windows is soo slow (like a turtle as you said) ?[/b]

I didn&#39;t use IDE on windows XP or Linux.

And I didn&#39;t try IDE under coLinux, too.

I think IDE (ie, Eclipse CDT) for uClinux will be better in the future, but there is still a long ways to go.

I would prefer working with the simple, old and trusty command line tools. I don&#39;t think GUI tools can give me more productive capability. ( I use Emacs to edit ,compile and version control. It is good. And you may try. )
