What else can I YUM for that will? NEdit It's motif so it smells like fish - but it's very good. I don't think it's utf-8 but that isn't needed for many things. If you have a JRE installed - JEdit JEdit is also available (duh - it's java) for Mac OS X and Windows For html - Bluefish is very good For programming I personally prefer emacs - but it takes some getting use to. btw - I love BBEdit - it still doesn't suck :D
