re: chromebook linux need disk space?

[Jude DaShiell]

If you don't use vim, removing vim from your system frees up much disk space.
I use emacs which takes up lots of disk space and nano which doesn't take up
lots of disk space. Another editor I have on the system is ed. My reason
for preferring ed to vim is when I ru n ex which is part of vim it throws some
weird codes out on the terminal and ed and nano and emacs don't do that. Nano
has become more a default editor for linux on basic systems where things need
configuring ahead of a full system start. That's the case in gentoo now for a
while. Why google went with a hybrid of gentoo and debian I can't figure, it
could have chosen gentoo for its main linux distribution or offered installers
a choice between debian and gentoo. The tdsr screen reader likely would have
worked with both distributions as well as others.
