...I've changed from nano to vim{,-gnome,-tiny}. Because of old habits I usually start nano -w and then quit from it directly to start vi. Maybe it's worth playing with aliases?
In other news: My darkelf is leaving for Germany today with airplane. The powerplug is loose, the battery is completely dead, the keyboard have a very hard-to-press spacebar and "L" falls off all the time. In addition to that something makes it turn off backlight from time to time as it feels like it. Good thing I still have a month warranty left... :-P
