(1) Eventhough I have an old debian, can I pick latest releases of apps

like vi, emacs and install them right away on my old debian system?

Or they wont install since my system is too old?

(2)Where can I find pico for debian?

I searched through the http://packages.debian.org/stable/editors/ and it's not there.

If there's no pico dor debian, what simple text editor similar to pico would you recommend.

Thanks for replying
