Kwrite and kate are intended for use in KDE (Kubuntu), not Gnome (Ubuntu). Gedit is the Ubuntu version. Since they are all text editors, there really isn't much advantage of using one over the other. Nevertheless, if you want to install one or both of them (this applies to instaling pretty muh everything in Ubuntu), go to System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager, and do a search for what you want. Note that installing kwrite or kate will pull in a huge amount of extra KDE dependencies, so unless you want to actually use KDE (in which case you should install kubuntu-desktop), you should just stick with gedit. <div>On 9/27/06, umair ubuntu <<a href="mailto:umairubuntu@gmail.com">umairubuntu@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> how to downlaod and install kwrite and kate on UBUNTU 6.06 if u r unable to connect to internetvia ubuntu can we use windows to download kwrite &k ate and then -- ubuntu-users mailing list <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users" target="_blank"> https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users</a> </blockquote></div> -- ===Scott Severance=== Website: <a href="http://www.scottseverance.us">http://www.scottseverance.us </a> Blog: <a href="http://blog.scottseverance.us">http://blog.scottseverance.us</a> Phone: (903) 665-0222 Check out the Sermon Illustration Library: <a href="http://www.sermonillustrationlibrary.org">http://www.sermonillustrationlibrary.org </a>
