Thanks for you reply. Well, after starting Sage (on virtualbox), I get straight into sage notebook and there doesn't seem to be anything else I can do or anywhere I can go.
(Actually, I get first to a black screen, and when I right click, it opens the openbox menu and gives me the error; invalid output from pipe-menu... and then takes me to the notebook) With the older version (in VMware), it would open in a desktop from where I could access the notebook OR sage (the terminal) and also gedit from the application menu. (really like in a virtual machine should be no?) >From the instructions for installing sage, it looks like it's normal to get into the notebook... If really there's a way to use a text editor (without using the notebook) that'd be great. Otherwise, I think I'll stick to old version... Thanks for you help!
