The obvious candidate is 'ee' from FreeBSD (who > have been including it since 1995). How are novice users supposed to know to type "ee filename" when they want to edit a file? I've seen documentation on the internet for about any kind of unix variation refer to 'vi', 'vim', 'pico', 'nano', and 'emacs', but never have I seen anything anywhere refer to an editor called "ee" or "easyedit". Up until this discussion, I had associated "ee" with "electriceyes", which I think is an image viewer of some sort. So while a "simple text editor" may be all well and good, I'm not sure having it installed will necessarily make it "easy" for novice users to make the supposed quick changes to rc.conf. -Jan
