Yeah yeah yeah... me too. I knew someone was going to say that.
The reason we need the tool is that these are super-newbies to linux
loading linux as part of a bigger project... until they've had a month
or two to get their feet wet, we try to keep from scaring them off with
things like vi. :-)
(In fact, a number of the volutneers on the project recommend nano, and
I'm always ranting and raving on the mailing lists about learning "a
real editor" be it vi or emacs or whatever... well, I always say vi, but
doesn't matter... nano's crap. GRIN.)
