4.4.3.2. ...using other text editors?

In addition to vi , Fedora ships with a plethora of other text editors, including:

nano (an improved clone of the easy-to-use editor Pico )

mcedit

joe (the commands jstar , jmacs , or jpico will start joe configured to emulate WordStar , emacs , or Pico ).

emacs and emacs-x

kedit and gedit

All of these text editors are capable of editing just about any text file. Each has its advantages and disadvantages.

Since the choice of editor is very personal, take some time to experiment with each of the editors to see which one you prefer. In any case, I'd recommend knowing the basics of vi so that you can always fall back to it if you encounter a situation where your favorite editor is unavailable.
