C Programming on Linux

I'm downloading Emacs right now; never know, might want a debugger built into an editor, although I could try Glade.

Reading the book Advanced Linux Programming by New Rider Press. I notice that Emacs is for the X11, so it can't see my Gnome clipboard, so that's out. I see Kdevelop for KDE, but I have Gnome so I'm downloading Anjuta (thank goodness there is a package for a C/C++ IDE on Gnome). I don't see any debugging icons in Anjuta, and Glade looks much improved, although it's an old version for some reason.

Conclusion: I'll stick with GEdit for now. No need to mix up learning the fundamentals with what incomplete IDEs that are out there that get there value from additional plugin and documentation.
