I am new to Linux development and want to know within Linux which is the best IDE for system level programs in C like kernel modules/device drivers and other H/W level programs. I used to use Sun Studio Compiler in Opensolaris world. Any suggestion is greatly welcome.

The best IDE is no IDE at all

IMHO...

PS:
What I mean is, the very best tools for kernel hacking tend to be command line tools. If you make the effort to become comfortable with them, on their own terms, the sky's the limit in terms of what you can learn and achieve.

If, on the other hand, you feel most comfortable with GUI tools, then you'll probably find kernel hacking unsatisfying and frustrating. Again - just my opinion, nothing more.

'Hope that helps .. PSM
