Were could i get a program like notepad++ for ubuntu

There are at least 50 or more programs to edit scripts/text for Linux. Since you're on Ubuntu, what's wrong with Gedit? Supports every programming/scripting language you can think of.

I'm not sure of the features in "notepad++" i used to use "notepad" but gedit is much better than that. There is often 'discussion' about which text-editor is best

Gedit is good, sciTe has pretty colour-coding, nano works on a command-line so it's good on servers and so on.

Try going up to the top-taskbar (panel) and click on

System - Adminitration - Synaptic Package Manager

it asks for your normal user password, not your SuperUser/Root one. Try the search button to look for "text editor" and have a look through. I think it's worth trying a few out and see which you like best or which ones you prefer for what purpose. I imagine they will mostly be very light on system resources and very tiny programs so you could install quite a few in one go :)

Good luck and regards from

Easier than expected on stock Jaunty 9.04

   1. System > Administration >Synaptic Package Manager
   2. Supply password and Quick Search for "WINE" (no quotes)
   3. Mark WINE for installation and Apply
   4. (let the package manager install the dependencies it needs)
   5. Download Notepad++ (Choose the .zip file once you get to SourceForge)
   6. Extract the zip file
   7. Create a custom application launcher with a custom command of:
      wine <path-to-notepad++.exe>

For instance, I downloaded the npp5.3.1.bin.zip file and it unzipped to the npp5.3.1.bin folder. My custom application launcher command is:
wine /home/sean/Downloads/npp5.3.1.bin/ansi/notepad++.exe

Hope this helps.
