Why don't you upload the files you're working on on a webserver and then
edit them with an offline-editor via FTP?

Other possibility: Many webhosters habe vim installed, so you could use
it via SSH.

Install your Linux O/S on a USB pen drive. There are lots of How To's
here: http://pendrivelinux.com/ . Then you don't even have to re-install
PHP, Apache, etc., you just boot from the pen drive. You can back your
"computer" up by just copying the contents of the pen drive each night.
But the suggestion of using SSH to a webhost might be easier or less
incovenient depending on why you're actually doing this.
