Because Debian probably sets $EDITOR and $VISUAL to nano instead of
[el|n]vi[m|s].

Thank you. Learn something new again. This is so fun. I probably can
find things like that out in a book or manual or faq, but there is _so
much_ to read. I'm only halfway through my first book because I am too
busy fiddling with this or that on the computer.

My wife and kids are starting to get a bit upset because I sit behind
the computer too much :; . I just wish I had seen the light a long time
ago and switched to GNU/Linux in the Potato days. Better late than
never. My family will just have to deal with it. I'm already over the
hump in the learning curve. Windows is gone.
