And then the default editor is nano. It's probably a usability thing. Ubuntu desktop aims to be a non-geek desktop. Only geeks like vi and it's mode-full descendants. So they put vim-tiny in so that there's a vi (and it doesn't take a lot of space on the install CD) and then they let everyone else use nano by default. Does anyone have links to a developer centric but still desktop ubuntu variant? I don't mind downloading postgresql and php and java and gcc/g ++ and everything else, but if I had them on the install DVD that would be a lot better. tiger _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List plug@lists.linux.org.ph (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
