     Hi Sthu.


     I agree with you that, if an editor is as small and more intuitive 
and self-explanatory than Nano, it can be a good choice. But let's not 
complicate the problem by envisionning too many combinations. The 
proposed alternative was:
     1) have nano and vi installed and nano as the default, like in Debian
     2) have vi only


     I, like most others tried to remain within this alternative.


     Regards,
