I'm not really new - I have been using Linux since 1996. But I am editor challenged. I manage a couple of Linux web servers in the basement from my family windows box upstairs. I do most of the html, php, etc upstairs. I transfer the files to Linux and manage the Linux boxes over VNC. For config files I have been hooked on MC (it is a kinda clone of the old DOS Midnight Commander) -- it allows me to browse files, set permissions, etc. It also has a simple (albeit limited) editor. It has served my purposes for years. But now I plan to move more onto the Linux boxes and need to choose a simple text editor and actually learn the darn thing. Preferably something with line numbers.
What do folks recommend.
Hmmm, I use nano from the command line...Code:
nano file.txt
You can show the line numbering with ctrl+c
You can exit nano with ctrl+x |
