hopefully, by monday i'll have a complete guide for people like you.

hint: mv /usr/bin/vi /usr/bin/vivi, 
      mv /bin/ed /bin/eded, 
      cp /usr/bin/ee /usr/bin/vi, 
      cp /usr/bin/ee /bin/ed.

this will probably gag a guru, but i haven't found a need
for that goofy stuff yet, i pray things stay that way!
