<font face="Arial"><span style="font-size:12pt">Let’s start a controversy – regardless of which unix/linux flavour you are going to install, the only consistent available editor you are going to find 100% of the time is vi. If you are planning on running an Allstar node, and more importantly maintain it, you best suck it up and learn vi. <br>
<br>
If you are unwilling to learn vi, you best question your ability to support the node properly. Or you had better get node maintenance and responsibility into the hands of some that is. <br>
<br>
In the beginning I was sloughing off learning vi, then saw the error of my ways and got to know it. I am not the best at it, but it will save you grief. It just plain works and is always there.<br>

Joes own editor. Kinda like an old WordStar clone. Simple, easy.<br>

This is not for me, I use Vi but I am installing systems for a couple of guys who I would not trust with Vi. I know IRLP uses Pico on Debian and that seems like a nice simple editor. Is that available for Centos?<br>
