Guys, relax. We all know the truly correct way to text edit is by manually opening up your storage media and using tools of microscopic precision to flip the relevant bits.

hah! amateurs. real men use subsonic chanting to make subtle alterations in cosmic radiation, probabilistically degrading the hard drive over periods of thousands of years.

Wow. I just came back here after a long time away after receiving an email notification that someone had revived an ancient thread.

FFS, my comment was intended as a joke - y'know - humor? Admittedly it wasn't one of my best and it wasn't exactly side-splittingly funny but if you have any experience of IT you'd know that the argument over which text editor is better is older than punch cards.

You really think I was trying to force my personal preference of text editor "down everyone's throat"?! I really don't give a monkey's arse what editor you use. It's up to you.

And do you really think that some newcomer or passer-by is going to come across this thread and then decide that the whole board isn't suitable for them just because someone dared to make a joke about f**king text editors?!?

By the way, I'm stuggling to understand what was sexist and discriminatory about HtheB's comment?

Well, that's all from me. Until the next troll revives another ancient thread....

Well, just to bring this thread back on-topic. Find attached the latest version of nano (version 2.2.6) . It will use /etc/nanorc (--enable-nanorc), but just in case I compiled it with --disable-wrapping-as-root.

Just unzip and place the binary in /usr/local/bin (or wherever you like).

Dude, why ya sifting through ancient posts to try to take offense at something? Seems like a waste of your time.

Also, emacs is the one true editor. And real men don't use "⊆".
