I'm an emacs user, and I hate vim but i think it is _mandatory_ to have vim as in every unix system. If you want to add nano (Debian's tradition) or joe (Slackware's tradition) it will be a good idea. But don't purge vim. > I would suggest that future editions consider nano or perhaps pico. > Or is there a simple way to edit text files with gedit as root? Pico is privative software. And a user that uses gedit to manage the system is dangerous like a monkey playing with knifes. OSs must be easy to use. But the user must make the effort of learning about the system too. -- Francisco J.
