Text editor Non-X11 for EnGarde Secure Linux 3.0.14
Well I like a good gui texted editor. something like Micorsoft editor (aka edit.exe). it is so hard finding one.

Is that a question? You want a text editor? One of these?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Categor...x_text_editors I hear NEdit is supposed to be pretty good (can't say, I haven't used it). |
If you don't run X server your choices are even more limited, Pine/PICO is about the most user-friendly editor that will work in console mode. Nedit is nice but I'm pretty sure it needs X.

tui text editor.
I want a TUI text editor. I just found out that is what I want. now I have to find one. thank you for your help. but I install fedore 7. on the computer that should be a router. so I guess I will not need a TUI TEXT EDITOR.
|
Oops, my brain filtered out the 'Non-X11', NEdit is indeed an X app.
For console editors, I like joe; in 'jstar' mode, it emulates ye olde Wordstar. |
EnGarde Secure Linux
I just want to make it clear I do not recommend EnGarde Secure Linux. its is very outdated. and has drm in it. if its free why dose it need drm. well I guess its just one of those things. also you have to pay to use php 5. well if you need a router I would recommend shorewall or firestarter.

Pico/nano
I agree either pico or nano (depending on your distro) are a great choice for commandline editors without having to learn the control commands of using vi
|
You only need to remember three things to survive in vi:
i - start insert mode at the current cursor position ESC:wq - leave insert mode, save, and quit ESC:q! - leave insert mode and quit without saving vi is everywhere, even on my Linksys router. |
Actually, it's
ESC:x to exit & save (shorter than wq) ESC:q to quit nosave (if you made no changes) ESC:q! to quit nosave (if you did make changes) i for insert (edit)mode ESC to get out of insert (edit) mode It's worth knowing the basics, vi comes as part of the base install on just about every *nix style system and very lightweight across dodgy connections. |
