This probably goes to a forgotten Netware server that’s been walled in decades ago and is still happily humming away.

Of course they do. It’s even mounted rw at the root of the AI drive for ease of access in case something goes wrong.

When you look at the way windows handles i18n, it’s fair to say it caters to the US market.

At the time, I needed a system able to handle editing a couple hundred pages document without issues. Windows with word couldn’t do it, Linux managed it gracefully despite not even being at 1.0 (and it also handled the network much, much better).

I’ve been using it ever since.

For historical reasons, I’ve had a /space partition for several machines now. It’s used for large media archives, buffering towards other servers (which only grab stuff every now and then), cold storage and the like.

Haha, what an idiot!

Yeah, I didn’t get any either. :-/

I’ll just check the logs then…

You’ll need a note from your doctor though.

It was a bit like the Green Card of Canonical. An Earth Shattering Kaboom, that nobody but the nerds noticed.

Started with Slackware, basically when Slackware came out. Now either OpenSuSE Tumbleweed or Fedora because I can’t be arsed to meddle with my machine for days to make it work. I just want to use it, not tweak it.

Oh, the Master Control Program?

Maybe it’s edit I’m remembering. It was a long time ago, and I stopped using windows seriously around 3.11, so I never paid much attention to what was on that partition. It was only there to run steam (and a few other games).

I suppose I should have switched to a console, but it never even occurred to me at the time.

Wasn’t there a version of ed in DOS at one point? Or am I mis remembering?

That could still lurk somewhere in windows’ maze of directories somewhere…

It’s fine if you only use your own machine. I suppose having accounts on other boxes is less common nowadays, but there’s much less guarantee to find your comfort editor there.

Also a 30 year+ linux/unix user.

Ssh - X

Then run kate, easy :)

I don’t think it’s the perfect editor for anything. They’ll have to use vi sooner or later, they might as well learn the basics. Or just use kate.

Well, yes. But I did wash my hands afterwards.

I first ran into nano when I gave Gentoo a try. I had to edit a few config files, so I ran vi… no vi. Emacs? No Emacs. Well, shit, what am I supposed to do? So I went back a bit and read more carefully, apparently there was a thing called nano.
So I ran that. Ew. It was a clone of an old DOS editor of all things. What kind of lunatic had ported that? Anyway I managed to do my edits with it, added normal editors to the system and was on my way.
It was also the last time I used it.

Linux could be unix if someone wanted to pay to have it certified. It’s meaningless.
