Anyone know of enough of a pons asinorum somewhere that would let
me learn just enough vi to use sudo? Is visudo it, by any chance?

Here are some useful (and thankfully brief) links for sudo, vi, and visudo:

<http://www.mklinux.org/getting_started/whatnow/sudo.html>
<http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/LinuxWorkshop/newbie-linux-manual/sections/vi.html>
<http://www.sharplabs.com:8668/space/Updating+YDL/Doing+things+as+root>

These should answer *most* of your questions.

Really? I loathe them as a rule, myself. Perhaps you are more patient than am I. ;-)


Best wishes,
Clint
