Linux systems provide many different kinds of editors. Debian is no different. From the tiny ae used in the base system, to the gigantic and powerful emacs, there are all the editors you might expect to find in any UNIX, and then some. The following section will give a brief description of four editors found in Debian. Each description section will tell how to start the editor, how to save a file, and how to exit the editor. Some of the primary edit features will also be discussed.
For more detailed information see the man pages and other documentation provided with each of the editors.
