Very true, Andrew. (Uy, rhyme yun ah... :)) A working knowledge of vi together with other editors is a good practice. It makes you versatile, but like Andrew said, almost all *nix distros/flavors have vi, but not all *nixes have the other editors. Knowing the essentials of vi will help you a lot as Andrew stated. So what I'm trying to say is "Seven of Nine is VERY HOT!" -------------- Yardan Ambrose Certified Penguin Enthusiast [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- _______________________________________________ Sign-up for your own FREE Personalized E-mail at Mail.com http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
