I would suggest Kile for editing LaTeX documents with Linux. Kile is a bit 
like WinEdt (but Kile is free!) and it can handle the conversion from latin1 
to utf8 or whatever you want. 

If you have KDE3.1 installed you can download a Kile package (or compile it 
from source) from:

In case you run into trouble, feel free to ask!

best,
Jeroen
