At Sat, 10 Mar 2001 it looks like Jesper Holmberg composed: jeho57->Now, I have have yet another small question: should I use Emacs or Vi jeho57->for editing? jeho57-> jeho57->Sorry, that was a joke. jeho57-> <flame_proof> ............. From day one I was told I may eventually like emacs, but I'd better learn vi for you may be out trouble shooting a machine that is OFF_LINE and it may not have emacs installed but you can count on vi being in all UNIX machines 99.9% of the time. I've been using Unix type OS's for a while (1996) and have never used emacs yet. Life with all the Unix's is difficult enough and I have a motto of "I pick and choose my own battles...." and vi is a battle enough. When I become a "vi pro" if there is such a thing, then I might venture towards emacs. </flame_proof> -- Bill Schoolcraft PO Box 210076 -o) San Francisco CA 94121 /\ "UNIX, A Way Of Life." _\_v http://forwardslashunix.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
