Well search the mailing list archives, we've had that discussion but don't ask |
| 8 |
me why they don't include vi after that. (not vim of course it really is |
| 9 |
quite big) but the "original vi" would suffice for an installation. Space is |
| 10 |
no argument then and after all gentoo is aimed at power users which should |
| 11 |
all be familiar with vi as it is the one editor you'll get in every *nix |
| 12 |
(just not gentoo :( ). First thing I do after having emerge at hand is |
| 13 |
emerging vi(m) so I can really do some file editing. Yes nano _is_ a hassle |
| 14 |
to use if you're used to vi. Sure it can be done and the directions at the |
| 15 |
bottom are clearly better for ppl not used to unix ... *stop* we've had that |
