[nfbcs] Sluggishness of Vinux

Wed May 16 11:49:51 UTC 2012

Hello,

The character-based version of vim is vi which is universally accessible on
all Linux systems.

Also, Using Samba and Windows explorer, I find that Visual Studio makes an
excellent editor for Linux.

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
