I am an all Linux user, and uses GEdit and OpenOffice.org
Gedit uses tabs and a full view. It highlights the current line, shows right margin, line numbering, dark background and much more.
I make one tab for each world/character, one tab for the plot overview and one for the single chapter.
I cut'n paste into OpenOffice.org for editing and continues there.
As far as I can tell, this is a nice way to write and it is low cost.
The great advantage is that you can use whatever crappy machine you have and install the software there. For my sake, I left the focus from software and hardware needs and could start concentrate on the important issue - to write!
