first and foremost hello
I have installed fedora core 4.
i would like to know what is the default text editor for xwindow? other than emacs.. xedit is not available and I have to edit some files and emacs is too complicated to use.
what is the command to delete a folder or a file in a folder?
gedit is also a good one, a little more gui than vim. Be careful with rm command, there is no "recycle bin" it is a permanent delete. Also, if you want to remove a dir with a lot of stuff in it use the rm -f option to no be constantly asked wheter or not you want to delete it.
