i think this should go to chat now... > I can't use emacs... I can't remeber if the exit and save is C-x C-c or > C-c C-x... I could use vi better the first time I used it than I could > emacs... maybe we need advocacy@freebsd.org? :p blaah, that's not too hard... what's hard is to remember, for me, is to remember if i use uemacs or emacs, since on some machines i have uemacs, on some emacs... for those who dont know, emacs exits and saves with same key-set than uemacs just exist and _doesnt_ save. i've shot myself to leg with that multiple times lately... and while we talk about things one does after first installation, well, i do 'export EDITOR=uemacs', no one should be using vi anyway... back in feb 93 when i was introduced to unix (freebsd!) all i was told was "this is unix, type 'emacs' to write something like emails and stuff, trn for news, just read the netetiquette first..." rest i had to basicly snoop out by myself. uh, year later i ran a server... those were the times. *sigh* for the record, the introduction happened in a tech college a mile away from other college where linus was at that time, and no, my college didnt support _that_ os _at_ _all_! =) mickey
