I know little about Mandrake,  though my brother runs it.  It seems to do a
good job at dealing with all sorts of installation issues,  from what I
hear.

I run Slackware here,  and counting what shows up in KDE,  there are a
whole *mess* of editors.  Which one you'd consider to be a good
"programming editor" I'm not going to guess at.  Being used to
using qedit under dos,  I generally stick with mcedit (comes as a part of
the mc package) and that's good enough for what little I do -- even though
it includes such niceties as syntax highlighting and showing matching
parentheses/braces/brackets,  etc.

Never got into either vi (or any of its clones,  which appear to be
installed here) or emacs.  Yet,  anyhow.
