Nowadays only few hardcore users recommend vi. Most linux users I know use "mc" (and "mcedit"). And I know more than 2 linux users. Much more.

Much more. It's true that most linux users I know use emacs.

The only time I have met another Linux user was four years ago when I had to visit the UK embassy in Poland, and was able to help one of the staff sort out their Samba problems. One other user in ten years. I suppose this thread (and one or two of the other currently running) is a sign that Slackware is fast approaching perfection - we have nothing else to write about but RM's problems and re-hashed editor-wars! Vi? Users - real "users" who *never* touch any of the administrative tasks on their system surely don't need vi. Admins - and that includes anyone setting up and maintaining even a single user machine at home, probably should have a basic knowledge of vi, of the kind easily obtained from the official Slackware book. http://www.slackbook.org/ It really isn't hard! atb Glyn -- RTFM http://www.tldp.org/index.html GAFC http://slackbook.org/ The Official Source :-) STFW http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&group=alt.os.linux.slackware JFGI http://jfgi.us/ |
