Everything you said jives with me, with the exception of emacs. I know it's a religious topic to some, but I have to ask... do you regularly see servers without vi, but with emacs installed?
- happywolf 10y agoI guess this asks mainly is to weed out those who are not truly 'Nix-ish' people...
- asher 10y agoI guess I phrased that wrong - I think server candidates should know vi or emacs. No need for both.
- thinkmassive 10y agoYeah that makes sense. I would say that everyone should know enough vi to get by, even if it's not their editor of choice, although I suppose there's _usually_ nano or pico. After I posted my previous response I realized that I actually know a few emacs keybindings thanks to tmux, even though I've never used the editor. I use a lightly modified vim on my laptop, but I think it's best to learn enough of the defaults (of any application/utility) to speed up your workflow on a new host.
