I was in this very predicament last night. Almost forced to eat my bytes.
I had just installed ubuntu (server install - no gui) and replaced the
CDROM with another hard drive (going to set up software RAID 1).
Anyway, I couldn't apt-get install emacs (or any other emacs-like
editor I could think of) because the sources.list needed updating, and
I couldn't update it because I refuse to learn vi. Then I discovered
that nano is installed by default. Yay! No vi!

You do realise that vi is the centre of evil, do you not?

Cheers,
Carl.
