Also, is there a "simple" text editor (something like DOS Edit) that can be used to edit config files outside the X server. While I am sure that editors like vim have wonderful and powerful features for those of you who have been working with them for years, I am a newbie to Linux and for the moment I just need to get a simple job done in the simplest way I can. Maybe later on I will discover the power and features of vi etc.
You can use the wonderful Midnight Commander (mc) to navigate in you system and to edit all the files you want. To directly edit/view a file just type : mcedit file_you_want Francis
