Also, do you know of any affordable NAS devices that could act as a local webserver (not just fileserver) for development from both mac and pc? Or does it end up being more economical to have a dedicated machine (e.g. linux box) to do that?

NAS devices tend to be a lot more money than just rolling your own server. If it’s just for web development, then a used PC with 128mb of ram and a 2gb disk is plenty for a slimmed down Linux server.

Not the NSLU2 Linksys devices, those run on Linux and are cheap (78 Euro was the cheapest I found)
(Hardrives not included)

Because Linksys is CISCO owned now , it has all the underlying technology that’s needed.
It’s just aimed towards the wider consumer market.
(Forget about customer support then, since there isn’t any use to it)

The size is the same of a small digital camera.

The problem is to replace the Firmware, that needs expert advice from people who know Linux well.
Once you are in there, the above mentioned device can be made whatever you can think of, Webserver, etc.

(Disadvantages: Some loss in network-speed, once formated disks can not be accessed just with firewire on your PC anymore, as is)

I have already collected all the resources, and I’ll get some one in to take care of it.

It is small and does not consume a lot of electricity, and why then have an extra clumsy box that bloats you electricity bill ?

Re: HTML/CSS editor for Mac OS X

To get back on topic,
My favorite free text editor is TextWrangler, BBEdit’s younger sibling. It’s definitely worth checking out!
