But as of now, I'm using Windows Xp operation system... So, How can i install gEdit in my Windows Xp? Actaully, I'm totally newbie to Linux World... But I'm familiar with Windows environment and Im also a C# developer. (Otherwise, I have no idea about Linux, GNOME, C++ or VC++) .Aniway, I'm willing to learn about Linux and It would be great if you all can support me in learning. :-) Thanks. So, Do I need to have Linux Box? Oki.. I'll install Fedora on coming weekend..
