Another article here makes a REALLY GOOD case for using the Geany editor; I *was* going to write my own article about it, but this one does a very good job, and it's found elsewhere on this very site!

I use one of the Linux distributions that not only runs, but can actually thrive on 10, 15, even 20 year old computer systems. It's called antiX, it's well supported by an international community so it has been translated to work in many languages, yet it's very light and lean; I had to pick up a recent vintage Linux kernel to get it to work on my newest computer, so I had to do a bit of extra work, now it works on that too, but I have three computers that are ten or more years old and they work great; I've also given away old computers after installing antiX so that others can use it; moreover I customized it for whatever purposes my audiences have been so they each have a system that works for them; wonderful stuff!
