Oki.. sure.
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..

Regards,
Michael Sync
