:-D

Well, nearly.. I started playing with linux somewhat around '92 or '93.
far before the version 1.0

However, had some experiences with other unix before and used NC on dos
obviously.

It was on dos with a limited shell. But with current shells like zsh I
am much faster without and, most important, more flexible and more
safe.

Even though mc is something good for beginners but debian or devuan is
not focusing on beginners and even devuan is focusing on "veteran unix
admins" so vi(m) would be the only proper choice. :-D
