you're right, they always point to vim, and the first time i used vim, i
didn't know how to close it! X wasn't running, and i started vim to edit
xorg.conf, had no clue how to work, or how to quit, i switched to the
second tty, and started working there :P
i searched for a text editor using apropos, and came across nano.
but it's a gap in everybody's computer literacy to not know how to use vim.
