As a newbie, for an example tutorials do no incoporate the teaching of VI into instaslling a firewall for instance. If I just learn a bit of VI but dont know how to incoporate it into firewalling for example, then it is total useless.
For example this tutorial is great, but for a newbie like it is useless if I have no idea how to incoporate vi into this type of situation. So to Jeremy Bretenshaw could you put the finewr steps in VI in this tutorial? http://www.jeremyb.net/modules.php?op=modload&name=NS-Web_Links&file=index&r eq=visit&lid=122 Justin ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael JasonSmith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "linux users" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, November 18, 2002 2:01 PM Subject: Re: Re: LAN Firewalling > On Mon, 2002-11-18 at 12:25, Christopher Sawtell wrote: > > now-a-days the only real reason for learning vi(m) is that it > > is virtually always installed on any and all Unix machines. > I agree with Chris, any system that does not have vi would be a highly > tied-down firewall or so old as to be up for replacement.
