My first shared hosting provider used some BSD, I don't remember which. It was way back in the early 2000s. I could log in via ssh. But at home I used Gentoo and I couldn't deal with the remote shell at first. I had to press scroll lock to scroll up and down, found it out by accident. I asked the hoster how to edit files. He said Pico ctrl+o ctrl+x to save and exit. Pico then became my editor, because vi was even more alien. I believe everyone has searched for "how to quit vi" once :) . Anyhow, I wanted Pico at home and found that it didn't either exist for Linux or wasn't maintained anymore. And that there was this nano thing now. And to this day I use "nano -w" to edit files remotely and sometimes even locally.
