I was hangin' out one day on #freebsd on the efnet. I was just lurkin, trying to soak up all the unix guru-ness from the elite. Well low and behold, a spat broke out. Insults were shared and one of which was, "Your mom uses ee.", which kinda made me afraid to admit that I use ee. Hell, I agree with you ee is easy, and vi is a bitch to learn. But, just to hel ya out...#freebsd guys can be unforgiving it seems to us newbies. :) Take care and good luck. If ya have X running, try playing with xemacs. It's cool because you can just point and click. And it has the control key combinations stated so that you can learn them as you go, then you won't really need to point and click. Now, go forth and prosper young Unix hacker, and may the force be with you. :) > All the news that is the news! > > John > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message > Bear =================================================== Joseph Garcia Downey, CA bear@pacificnet.net "Dont drink and drive, you might spill the beer." =================================================== To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
