Appendix 2: Text Editors

Introduction

Linux systems provide many different kinds of editors. Debian is no different.

From the tiny ae used in the base system, to the gigantic and powerful emacs,

there are all the editors you might expect to find in any UNIX, and then

some. The following section will give a brief description of four editors found

in Debian. Each description section will tell how to start the editor, how to

save a file, and how to exit the editor. Some of the primary edit features will

also be discussed.

For more detailed information see the man pages and other documentation

provided with each of the editors.
