[Bug 215652] New: Install nano by default
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=215652 Summary: Install nano by default Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Beta 1 Platform: 64bit OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: martin.schlander@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de I think nano should be installed by default since it's a very easy to use console based editor and a lot of people know it from 10.1, Ubuntu and other distros. Maybe it could replace joe, to avoid too much "bloat" in the editor department. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Especially new users can not work with vim, ex and ed and also joe is not so easy for new users. Putting nano in the console tools pattern does not really help new users because it's not installed by default anyway. nano is an easy editor which is included in the default installations of many distributions like Debian und Gentoo. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

But I figured it would be a bit troll'ish to reopen my own report ;-) Let me point out that apart from being much easier to use Nano should also take up slightly less space than vim. Might help a little in trimming down the basesystem. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Vim is much more complicated. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

To stay consistent with the manuals, I'd propose to keep vi for now. CLOSING WONTFIX.
That is a terrible excuse to wontfix. Manuals exist for the purpose of explaining how things do work, not for dictating how things should work. Vi is a prime example of a reason to not use Linux at all, why Linux is considered suitable mostly for computer geeks. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

it is not an excuse.

No, there are several standards around *unix like systems that **requires** the Vi Editor present by default.

I agree that vi is not for everyone nor "noob^Wuser friendly" but there is no reason why nano cannot be there as well. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
