Used it for the first time with gentoo, dead simple. Like edit under dos. 

Gentoo is the first distro that I've used that doesn;t have vi, wierdoz. 
But I'm falling in love with gentoo. Takes bloody ages though. I'm on day 4
now. 

The trouble is, I keep doing vi commands, and eh, they don't work ;--)

-----------------
Looking to install a text editor that'll be used by absolute beginners. 
I don't want to, nor have the time,
to teach them how to use emacs or vim so I'm really looking for the 
simplest editor that's out there
it doesn't have to have any fancy functionality or anything like that.
I'm leaning towards pico - is there anything simpler?
