Re: question about /bin utils
True enough, in (my) potato there's no /bin/vi, although there are other
editors (ae and ed). In (my) woody there is, though:
aperrin@hm269-26876:~$ ls /bin/vi
/bin/vi
(Not that I'd have the beginnings of a clue how to actually use ae or ed
if I were in that situation....)
