Graphical DIFF programs for linux

Question

I really like Araxis Merge for a graphical DIFF program for the PC  I have no idea what s available for linux  though   We re running SUSE linux on our z800 mainframe  I d be most grateful if I could get a few pointers to what programs everyone else likes

There is DiffMerge from SourceGear  It s pretty good   Araxis Merge is one of the programs I miss from Windows   I wonder if it works under Wine     Might have to give it a try

If you use Vim  you can use the inbuilt diff functionality  vim -d file1 file2 takes you right into the diff screen  where you can do all sort of merge and deletes

Kompare is fine for diff  but I use dirdiff  Although it looks ugly  dirdiff can do 3-way merge - and you can get everything done inside the tool  both diff and merge

I know of two graphical diff programs  Meld and KDiff3  I haven t used KDiff3  but Meld works well for me   It seems that both are in the standard package repositories for openSUSE 11 0

Diffuse is also very good  It even lets you easily adjust how lines are matched up  by defining match-points

I generally need to diff codes from subversion repositories and so far eclipse has worked really nicely for me    I use KDiff3 for other works

BeyondCompare has also just been released in a Linux version   Not free  but the Windows version is worth every penny - I m assuming the Linux version is the same
