p'ski-

As a somewhat crusty *nix guy, the only editor worth learnings is 6 (or vi for those who haven't learned this editor is the tool of satan ;-)).

Actually, I'm afraid Adam is right about the shell: It shouldn't be that way, but it is. The computer (esp. a *nix box) isn't as much of a hands-off tool for the masses as it's sold. All in the fullness of time.

And to be more on-topic, using the Live-CD distribution can be a wonderful learning tool as well:
