Dear friends:

With all due respect to both Emacs and Vim, the two great programming
languages on Linux, may I, as a newbie, suggest to all other newbies who
do not plan to become programmers but who want to use a text editor for
normal configuration files:

THINK TWICE AND THRICE BEFORE STEPPING INTO THE INFINITE LOOP OF EMACS
AND VIM, or they will eat you up alive or send you straight to a mental
asylum.

Use a simple text editor such as mcedit, pico, joe, the default KDE text
editor and so on.

If you decide later that you want to learn programming, you can then
move up to Emacs or Vim. But not until then.

Benjamin
