One question left hanging for me goes like this: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
I understand nano is a choice. Removing an editor like nano is 99.99% |
| 14 |
safe. There's no way removing nano is going to cause a system to not |
| 15 |
boot or be unable to do updates, so I remove it understanding (now) |
| 16 |
about virtuals. On the other hand how does someone who's not educated |
| 17 |
in booting or the internals of portage know that removing less |
| 18 |
wouldn't cause a problem that stops a machine from booting or makes it |
| 19 |
impossible to do updates? |
