The greater bulk of a sysadmin's job (measured across the boards at all
manner of companies and place) is maintaining things that are not recent
RHEL, Ubuntu and derivatives, but much older machines. And on those, vi
is the norm (just as nano is becoming the norm on newer machines). There
is to me little point in examining nano at all, it works like notepad...I don't believe vi is on the exam because LPI believes vi is a fantastic
tool. I believe it is on the exam because vi is in the wild, often the
only installed option, and sysadmins have to know how to deal with it.>
