It can be used on limited resource machines, but gedit, or geany has a much nicer interface. Gedit I have had trash several files however, so while geany doesn't have all the syntax hylighting gedit has, its commands are nearly identical so if used to one you are used to the other. And geany hasn't yet ever trashed a file for me, gedit has several times, and when it happened for about the 10th time while doing that 400 line hal for the lathe, that was the back breaking straw for me. Nano has not ever trashed a file, but I find its command interface clumsy and a bit prehistoric. If nano has a search (and replace) function, I've not figured out how to use it. My distaste for gedit is because gedit probably cost me 2 extra weeks getting my lathe running with a 5i25 card because of its propensity to copy a line, or several lines of .hal stuff, into the middle of other lines of .hal stuff, caused me so much grief with the pure gibberish it created that I was ready to shoot all the neighborhood cats. So I went looking for an editor that worked, and geany was it. With geany, and some help from rockhopper, I huge breath of fresh air for me. > On 4/1/2015 4:30 AM, Belli Button wrote: > > New Debian install CD does not include Gedit (even though it's the > > preferred LCNC editor)? > > > > Bellisimo > > > > > > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > >---------- Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go > > Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel and developed in partnership > > with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all things parallel software > > development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, > > case studies, tutorials and more.
