Today I start to describe my favorit software for my favorit operational system - Linux. The first one is programming text editor. My choice is open source editor Geany. It is based on Scintilla engine so it has all the things that Scintilla has - code highlight for several different languages, light weight of executable file, small mount of memory and CPU resources consumption, which makes this programm to run quickly on the oldish computers (I have pentium 2 for testing/development) Check their site for more screenshots, information and downloads.The link is below.

Geany is a text editor using the GTK2 toolkit with basic features of an integrated development environment. It was developed to provide a small and fast IDE, which has only a few dependencies from other packages. It supports many filetypes and has some nice features. For more details see http://geany.org/
