Linux Text Editor

[linktoinsanity]

Hi guys,

I'm having a play around with command line Linux, and lots of guides on doing stuff tells you to edit config files, however I don't like Vi, which is the only command line text editor I remember. It at least used to list all the commands you can do with it along the bottom, but it does not appear to do so anymore.

So, any easy to use text editors out there? preferably as simple as Notepad is in Windows? (without the GUI obviously).

Thanks.

Nano is much less complex than Vi/Vim and still a proper text editor. Installed on most distros by default.

Yeah a colleague has just recommended this to me. Thanks.
