I am a newbie. My primary focus is Physics but I've
explored a fair amount of CS courses along the way, so I'm not a totally
fumbling newbie. But in terms of Linux I downloaded and installed for the
first time just the other day. So I claim newbie status. :=)
As a newbie, let me say that AE is workable. I can
immediately do simple editing. I doubt I ever take the time to
learn vi. It was NTemacs that woo-ed me into the Linux
camp. Emacs was the first download after base. I "wallowed" in
running emacs from a unix prompt before ftping more packages to dselect.
Yeah...i have a winmodem... :=(
In terms of making an "edlin" sort of pervasive basic text
editor available, AE works for this newbie. For basic
fundamental services small is beautiful. Initially, simple is
supreme. (A full screen editor is worth the added complexity...did not
mean edlin literally...) For a base install think "keep it simple".
And do remember us newbies!
PS thanks! for exsisting, i mean! :=)
PSS seems like I recieved AE and
tiny-elvis...
