[conspire] Recommendations request: Keychain and GUI editor

[William Lazar]

Hi all,

Long time lurker here, just got a Gentoo-based desktop computer and  
would appreciate some advice from the more experienced. At the moment  
I'm looking for two things:

= something similar to keychain on OS X so I don't need to type in my  
password every time I hit the subversion repository. I found a  
package called keychain from someone at IBM but couldn't really  
understand his article, which is certainly my fault but nonetheless  
still the case, so if anyone thinks this is the tool for the job but  
can point me to a simpler, more user-level explanation I'd be obliged.

= an editor similar to TextMate on OS X or UltraEdit on Windows; I've  
tried Tea and nEdit but neither does it for me. SVN integration would  
be swell, though I'm using RapidSVN and reasonably okay with it as a  
separate tool.

Thanks,
Bill
