I too am a long time Nedit user, and I really like the program.  I don't 
recall seeing it in RH 3 or RH 4.  I've downloaded the source file from 
and built it on those systems.  I tried building it on Fedora, but there 
are some libraries that are missing and so I haven't had any luck so far.

The Nedit source has not been updated in ages, 2004,  and I don't know 
if it will be maintained for newer Linux versions.  Too bad, I really 
liked it.  I think I've already said that.  Anyway, there are many other 
editors that you could substitute.  I've started using Eclipse on RH 4 
and Fedora, as my programming editor.

Here's the link to the web site for the Nedit download.
