emacs-nox 21.4	GPL	The Emacs text editor without support for the X Window System
Emacs-nox is the Emacs text editor program without support for the X Window System. You need to install this package only if you plan on exclusively using Emacs without the X Window System (emacs-X11 will work both in X and out of X, but emacs-nox will only work outside of X). You'll also need to install the emacs package in order to run Emacs.
emacs-tramp 2.1.2	GPL	Transparent Remote (file) Access, Multiple Protocol
TRAMP stands for `Transparent Remote (file) Access, Multiple Protocol'. This package provides remote file editing, similar to ange-ftp and EFS. The difference is that ange-ftp uses FTP to transfer files between the local and the remote host, whereas TRAMP uses a combination of rsh and rcp or other work-alike programs, such as ssh/scp.
emacs-X11 21.4	GPL	The Emacs text editor for the X Window System
Emacs-X11 includes the Emacs text editor program for use with the X Window System (it provides support for the mouse and other GUI elements). Emacs-X11 will also run Emacs outside of X, but it has a larger memory footprint than the 'non-X' Emacs package (emacs-nox). Install emacs-X11 if you're going to use Emacs with the X Window System. You should also install emacs-X11 if you're going to run Emacs both with and without X (it will work fine both ways). You'll also need to install the emacs package in order to run Emacs.
emacs 21.4	GPL	The libraries needed to run the GNU Emacs text editor
Emacs is a powerful, customizable, self-documenting, modeless text editor. Emacs contains special code editing features, a scripting language (elisp), and the capability to read mail, news and more without leaving the editor. This package includes the libraries you need to run the Emacs editor, so you need to install this package if you intend to use Emacs. You also need to install the actual Emacs program package (emacs-nox or emacs-X11). Install emacs-nox if you are not going to use the X Window System; install emacs-X11 if you will be using X.
gedit 2.16.0	GPL	GEdit is a small but powerful text editor for GNOME
gEdit is a small but powerful text editor designed expressly for GNOME. It includes such features as split-screen mode, a plugin API, which allows gEdit to be extended to support many features while remaining small at its core, multiple document editing through the use of a 'tabbed' notebook and many more functions.
gtksourceview 1.8.0	GPL	Source code viewing library
GtkSourceview is a library that adds syntax highlighting, line numbers, and other programming-editor features. GtkSourceView specializes these features for a code editor.
hexedit 1.2.12	GPL	View and edit files in hexadecimal or in ASCII
hexedit shows a file both in ASCII and in hexadecimal. The file can be a device as the file is read a piece at a time. You can modify the file and search through it.
joe 3.5	GPL	An easy to use, modeless text editor
Joe is an easy to use, modeless text editor which would be very appropriate for novices. Joe uses the same WordStar keybindings used in Borland's development environment. You should install joe if you've used it before and you liked it, or if you're still deciding what text editor you'd like to use, or if you have a fondness for WordStar. If you're just starting out, you should probably install joe because it is very easy to use.

NEdit is a multi-purpose text editor for the X Window System, which combines a standard, easy to use, graphical user interface with the thorough functionality and stability required by users who edit text eighthours a day. It provides intensive support for development in a wide variety of languages, text processors, and other tools, but at the same time can be used productively by just about anyone who needs to edit text.
sed 4.1.5	GPL	A GNU stream text editor
The sed (Stream EDitor) editor is a stream or batch (non-interactive) editor. Sed takes text as input, performs an operation or set of operations on the text and outputs the modified text. The operations that sed performs (substitutions, deletions, insertions, etc.) can be specified in a script file or from the command line.
vim-common 7.0	Charityware	The common files needed by any version of the VIM editor
VIM (VIsual editor iMproved) is an updated and improved version of the vi editor. Vi was the first real screen-based editor for UNIX, and is still very popular.

xemacs-extras 21.4.19	GPL	Files that XEmacs has in common with GNU Emacs.
Xemacs-extras includes files which are used by both GNU Emacs and XEmacs. If you don't have GNU Emacs installed, be sure to also install this package when you install the XEmacs text editor.
xemacs 21.4.19	GPL	XEmacs is a highly customizable text editor and application development system
XEmacs is a self-documenting, customizable, extensible, real-time display editor. XEmacs is self-documenting because at any time you can type in control-h to find out what your options are or to find out what a command does. XEmacs is customizable because you can change the definitions of XEmacs commands to anything you want. XEmacs is extensible because you can write entirely new commands--programs in the Lisp language to be run by Emacs' own Lisp interpreter. XEmacs includes a real-time display, which means that the text being edited is visible on the screen and is updated very frequently (usually after every character or pair of characters) as you type. To use XEmacs, you'll need to install the XEmacs binary. The xemacs package includes the standard XEmacs binary that most people will use. The XEmacs binary is dynamically linked, with both X11 and TTY (ncurses) support, but without mule (MUlti-Lingual Emacs, the Asian character set) support.

Linux reseller Bryce Coad had audiences eating out of his hand as he demonstrated the operating system running OpenOffice.org [. . .] Igor Portugal, technical head at Linux reseller Asterisk, which made its first appearance at the show in 1999, says Orix, Linfox Logistics, the Health and Disability Commission and Vita New Zealand are among its customers. Portugal collected a wad of business cards from visitors to his stand, many of which he expected to turn into sales. — ComputerWorld Expo 2002
