Are there any good HTML\CSS IDEs available for Linux? I don't mean a WYSIWYG editor; I pretty much just need text editor with syntax highlighting and a preview pane w/something similar to Firebug. Does anything like that exist?

+4  A: 

Aptana works on many Linux distros.

Ooh, that looks good. I'll try that.
snostorm
Hm, I like Aptana. I think I'll go with it. Thanks!
snostorm
but it don't validate the code... is there one that shows you if there are errors?

I use netbeans and/or eclipse and they handle both HTML/CSS excellently. Both are free as well

Do they provide debugging or a preview view?
snostorm
I can only speak for Eclipse: It highlights malformed HTML, probably also CSS, if you'd consider that debugging. Preview, yes that too. You can switch between a HTML view and a source view.

Then I'll give it a try too.
snostorm
Aptana happens to be Eclipse-based, so you get the best of both (Eclipse+Aptana) worlds :)
BoltClock
netbeans also provides code checking by highlighting...

Why not take Bespin (https://bespin.mozillalabs.com/) for a spin.

It's an extremely interesting HTML5 app, but it doesn't appear to have the features I'm looking for. (Hard to tell though, I can't find a feature list anywhere)
snostorm
I know it does syntax highlighting for HTML, CSS and Javascript, not sure about preview pane though. I must admit that my response is a little bit deceptive since I don't actually use Bespin myself. I think it's such a great idea to move the IDE to the cloud, and I'm trying to promote it as much as I can, but unfortunately I've learned Emacs and now I can't make myself use anything else.
