Further, I would make sure to choose several editors, including some that are somewhat windows like--I'd include: * at least one from the family of editors powered by Scintilla, perhaps Geany and Scite * kate (from KDE) and maybe something equivalent from GNOME (I essentially have never used GNOME) * nedit Oh, and maybe to give one of the simplest editors that can be used as root without having to get access to an X display: "editor"
