hi

I've Squeeze with a minimal XFCE 4 installed and looking for a simple text editor running under XFCE.

leafpad or geany. There's mousepad which is linked with xfce but if you have no printer install it without recommends so it doesn't pull printer support.

Do I understand correctly?
I cannot print from mousepad?

I use the text editor for keeping notes and for writing/editing all my web pages, thus, I like to have multiple tabs open at the same time. Leafpad/Mousepad can't do that, so I remove them and install gedit.

My choice is leafpad and geany
Leafpad for simple, basic, rapid editing & notes, Geany for more complex works!

Great combination IMHO!!!

Yes you can. I meant that if you didn't have a printer then you could install mousepad without recommended packages and it wouldn't pull xfprint4 (printer support).

geany has tabs too (there may be others as well).

I go for Gedit every time. Its plugins make it so extensible it's indispensable. (That rhyme was indefensible.)
