[nfbcs] Sluggishness of Vinux

[Jordyn Castor]

Thanks all for your feedback. I am now running Vinux off a Flash Drive.
After all that work though, I find out that the program we need to use 
for our class, Vim, doesn't seem to be accessible when reading the text 
I type into the editor. :( Awesome! lol
Does anyone have any recommendations of powerful text editors for use 
with C++? Are the ones built into Vinux good enough?
Thanks!
Jordyn
