4 I think there are two camps trying to put forward points here and I'm
5 reasonably convinced that the camp arguing strongly for a vim are the camp
6 which also plan to us their livecds for rescue and popping in all over the
7 place to get a useful basic linux system. I can quite understand that in this
8 case having a powerful editor would be extremely useful. However, considering
9 purely the case of the installation, and download size I'm sure the
10 experienced users who are more likely to be using vi would be able to manage
11 editing a single file with nano.

13 I must say I really liked the idea from earlier on which would allow you to
14 easily add things to your livecd easily to make your own custom livecd, then
15 you can make it as huge as you want, with vim, emacs or whatever, creating
16 your perfect livecd.
