nano is usually installed by default
- petre 4y agoVi is fortunately present on just about every unix-like system and in busybox. Typing "v" in the pager and getting thrown into nano always prompts me to installing vim and changing the default editor. When I got into Linux there was no nano, only vi and ed. Pico came later with the Pine e-mail client.
- sbuk 4y ago> "Pico came later with the Pine e-mail client" Nope. GNU Nano, like a lot of the early GNU utilities, emulates Pico. I was using Pico/Pine around 1994/95 on UNIX workstations, and Pico was the default editor.
- petre 4y agoPico came later than vi/ed. I know nano is a pico clone which first appeared in '99 or so.
