<div dir="ltr">As you can tell, you've opened a can of worms. Like they said, it was probably vi. I learned vi many years ago when I first started working with Unix. I went to a lot of customer sites, and it was the only reasonable editor you could guarantee finding. Today you could get by just learning emacs, I suspect, but vi is still my favorite. Here's what looks to be an OK source for learning it: <a href="http://www.cs.colostate.edu/helpdocs/vi.html">http://www.cs.colostate.edu/helpdocs/vi.html</a>. </div>

A friend was just over to help out with Linux and MythBuntu (more on that later).<br>
During the course of troubleshooting, he looked through a web site other(s) here had already referenced.<br>
( <a href="https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Advanced_Linux_Sound_Architecture#HDMI_output_does_not_work" target="_blank">https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Advanced_Linux_Sound_Architecture#HDMI_output_does_not_work</a> )<br>
He zipped through it very fast (or at least a LOT faster than I would have), and used a text editor to create one of the files the web page recommended.<br>
<br>
I can't recall the name of the Text Editor, but I know it had only two digits, and I think one was the letter "V'.<br>
If I was only interested in that text editor, I could (re)ask him the name of if...<br>

What I'm interested in hearing your opinion on is...<br>
<br>
What Text Editor do you think is "the best" (by what ever definition you choose),<br>
and/or the one that you would recommend to a "newbie" like me?<br>
