I think to a certain degree you're arguing cross purposes. It depends on what your goals are in using Linux. Not every Linux user is using Linux because they want to learn system administration. - Does a home user who mostly regards their Linux system as an appliance need to learn vi? No, absolutely not. - Does someone who aspires to work as a system administrator, either in an amateur or professional capacity, need to learn vi? I'd say yes. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
