I'd have thought you'd need to be intellectually challenged to use an
editor which is larger than the Linux kernel, and written in a
programming language compromised almost entirely of brackets ( ) !! :-P
Vi[m]'s your best bet, as Emacs is almost bound not to work when the box
is a bit broken and /usr can't be mounted as it's on a different disk
which is ever so slightly broken at that point in time.
Seriously however, "vi" is _always_ on a Unix/Linux box, and for this
point it is worth knowing at least how to edit a file.
Have I worn my pro vi t-shirt at the lug yet ?
And yeah, I know I'm blurring the line between vi and vim, and they are
ever so slightly different...
