How do I install Sublime in PcLinuxOS? Sublime isn't listed among the packages on Synaptic. Do I go to Webupd8 and follow the Ubuntu instructions? Thanks.

the reason it is not in the software repos
is it is NOT free to use

but

the normal default for your desktop
Gedit for Gnome
kate for kde
or
emacs and VI

are all GREAT!!!! editors

I was using Kate, but the teachers of my Python class basically demanded I use Sublime. For one thing, Sublime has the terminal command "subl ." (note, that's a space befor the period) which opens the current folder, with the first document in the folder displayed in the Sublime editing window, and the folder tree displayed in a left column. I am using Sublime on my Ubuntu machine, but I'd like to have it also on my PcLinuxOS machine. Apparently PcLinuxOS is rpm based. There must be a way of adding the Webupd8 Sublime repository to Synaptic. Thanks.
