  • I mean, there is nothing to learn in nano. Anyone who has used notepad with only keyboard can do the simple edits. And even the shortcuts for save, search, etc are listed right at the bottom. Vim doesn't have any of that.

    I cannot understand what people find to vim for daily use... nano is way to easier...

    You are starting a war. Nano might be more intuitive, but vim is an editor designed for keyboard only. Once your brain is trained to be comfortable with the set of key combinations, you might start to appreciate vim. I had a college several years ago, he was murmuring like who the f*** created vi to torture him. A month later, I saw he was using vi happily.

    traceroute, nano, htop, nload, wget then the rest varies depending on the machines role(s).

  • vim, rsync, htop, mtr, fail2ban, git are just a few on top of my head.

    Then I am afraid that was not a very good joke.

    People say there are no females on LET, but there's contrary evidence right there. Tons of girls here.

    I kid...I kid because I love...

  • I prefer to use vim, but in some condition, I also use nano. Every users may have a different preference, since its all about their own favor. So, no need to argue about this. :)

  • am i the only one who loves "csf" right after "nano" ?

  • If it's not already installed: python!

    Ansible handles the rest for me.

    I used to use CSF on my servers but I decided to try out a combination of ufw and fail2ban and that worked great for me...ufw for the simple iptables frontend and fail2ban for my custom filters that ban a lot of the exploit scanning I get on my Wordpress installs.
