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.<br /><div class="edit_text">EDITED: 19 Jan 2014 13:20 by DSMITHHFX</div> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=40879.5&return_msg=40879.1" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="40879.5"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a40879_6"></a><div class="message" id="message_40879_6"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: CHYRON (DSMITHHFX)<span class="message_time">19 Jan 2014 13:21</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: ALL<span class="message_count">6 of 12</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=40879.6">40879.6</a></div> <div class="message_body"> ..</div> <div class="message_attachments"> <span>Attachments:</span> <ul> <li><span class="image attach"></span><a href="get_attachment.php?webtag=DEFAULT&hash=c57bd09ac4fcec4afc6c47a73f52f709&filename=x2.jpg" target="_blank">x2.jpg</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=40879.6&return_msg=40879.1" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="40879.6"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a40879_7"></a><div class="message" id="message_40879_7"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: ANT_THOMAS<span class="message_time">19 Jan 2014 13:30</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: ALL<span class="message_count">7 of 12</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=40879.7">40879.7</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Do people not like nano? </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=40879.7&return_msg=40879.1" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="40879.7"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a40879_8"></a><div class="message" id="message_40879_8"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: CHYRON (DSMITHHFX)<span class="message_time">19 Jan 2014 13:31</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: ANT_THOMAS <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 19 Jan 2014 13:49"></span></span> <span class="message_count">8 of 12</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=40879.8">40879.8</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=40879.1#a40879_7" target="_self">40879.7</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Nein.
