This is a bit off-topic, but I have been extremely unhappy with Ubuntu
for quite a while now (particularly on my ThinkPad laptop) and I will
probably replace it with FreeBSD soon (because having a Unixish OS
around is fairly useful.) If anything it just provides more motivation
to work on Haiku since there really is no decent alternative (Mac OS X
is OK but I don't want to pay the Apple tax.)

Back on the topic of this thread, I too am fine with just having nano
or something similar as the Haiku command-line editor. Though Ingo's
comment about the Cream key bindings using Ctrl made me wonder about
nano too. Would it use Cmd on Haiku or Ctrl? AFAIK the standard
command key for nano is Ctrl. I suppose a "proper" port of nano (or
Cream) would take into account the shortcut key settings of Haiku.
Hopefully that would not be too hard to do.

Ryan
