New to me: http://gtk-apps.org/content/show.php?content=145463 - 110k lite - syntax highlighting (not sure how many languages supported, but deffo does html) - tabs - didn't need any dependencies on ubuntu server + xfce (I may have already installed other stuff though) - I dislike mousepad, for various reasons but mainly it only does one open document at a time. - I do like gedit, but too many dependencies !== liteweight - ditto geany (which I install anyway) - bonus: it's not java! ---- "the corruption of power may be bad, but the corruption of powerlessness is worse.'"

I dislike mousepad too and generally use Geany. But I'll check this out, thanks! , , , , , , , , , , `' (o,o) (o,o) (o,o) (o,o) (o,o) \ \|)__) \|)__) \|)__) \|)__) \|)__) ''`>-,--”-”---”-”---”-”---”-”---”-”---- ,'.*''`

Poor mousepad! I suspect the feds have put you two up to this! --------------------------------------------- Give me liberty or, I dunno, something.

http://www.tehforum.co.uk/forum/index.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=40879.1 Glad you axed though, I took another look at the web site and noticed the application does not seem to be in active development since a year. I pulled it into latest ubuntu from a repo, so I assumed it was more recent. I still think it's a neat and extremely lightweight editor. Gedit now relies on gtk3.x, so that would be a lot of dependencies & resources to pull down for a server install + xfc desktop running in a VM with <1g ram. ---- "the corruption of power may be bad, but the corruption of powerlessness is worse.'"

Well I guess the point was what's the advantage of 'extremely lightweight', but VM with < 1GB tbh is probably a use case. Though still, running a GUI on a VM? Remote or local? I'm a Vim man myself, anyway. caer.me

local. far easier to read and edit config files than (ugh) vim over ssh. This is on a local development server instance. I wouldn't run a gui on a remote, though I would use nano rather than vim or, if doing extensive edits, edit locally and scp up. ---- "the corruption of power may be bad, but the corruption of powerlessness is worse.'"
