Re: what is the command for editing files?

There's a million different answers for this.  I am assuming that you are fairly new to linux, so "nano" is probably the easiest for you to get your hands around.

vi (vim) is a more powerful editor, as is emacs.  Both of them will probably be, no offense, over your head at this point.

nano filename

will be easiest

Not until you install Gnome. 

But for editing config files nano should be plenty. It's also a lot faster than gedit IMHO.

oh my!

this could lead to the alltime favorite war amongst editor friends.

me thinks about writing a show with the name "Happy Editor Friends"

Everyone, grab your chainsaws!
