Livecd with VIM and emacs

steve s. · 02-18-2007, 07:47 AM

Hello all!

I'm looking for a Linux livecd that has vim and emacs on it...I was showing a unix user/programmer the livecd concept and he asked about those specifically.

Does anyone know of a distro that has both of those available?

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me on this...

If he's not too much into GUI, let him try grml. emacs and vim are there (and X is, too, but grml's actually a distribution center around the cli).

Thanks! I'll check it out...

But let's say the gui environment is more appealing to him...are there any suggestions with KDE or gnome?

I think Knoppix might have what your looking for: http://www.knoppix.org/

Oh, you're kidding me!

I've used Knoppix for years and never thought it would have those two...'course, I've never looked for those in the past. Yeah!

Man, sure enough, load Knoppix, and both Gvim and Zile (emacs emulator) are in there...very cool.

Thanks all! (epsecially jacook!)
