Damn Small Linux Text Processing
Damn Small Linux is a learning Linux commands and run the Linux operating system an excellent tool. However, if you do not intend to become a computer nerd, you can this software still be useful? The answer is yes, you can use this tiny operating system to use if you want to know the details of the operating system is sometimes terrible. This article describes the text with your free Damn Small Linux to run, and even outdated Windows computers editors. You can use these applications to write simple text or any procedure complexity.
Once you have downloaded and installed Damn Small Linux there are several equivalent ways of launching its text editors. You can click on the DSL button in the lower-left hand corner or on the Apps icon toward the top of the screen. Then open the Editors: there are four, Beaver, Nano, Notepad, and vi (actually vim). We will look at these editors in order plus an additional one.
Beaver is my choice for creating and editing the text files used in my Damn Small Linux tutorials. The name Beaver stands for Beaver is an Early AdVanced EditoR which is the kind of joke that many Linux and Unix people find funny. This editor is particularly useful for programming and web page editing. Beaver’s special features include color coding and the ability to convert text to Upper Case, Lower Case or to capitalize the first letter of every word. You can convert text among the following formats: Unix, DOS, and Mac. Programmers will be glad to know that Beaver formats code for the following programming languages: C/C++, HTML, Perl, JavaScript, PHP, and Bash. Unfortunately there is no Help function.
Nanometer process, particularly for e-mail. It is widely used slightly from the e-mail program is not responsible for Linux version. I do not have with the Nano, but someone told me that many Linux and Unix people like it.
Damn Small Linux in Notepad what people are calling, DOS / Windows text processor to another is actually similar to Notepad. Because beavers are more powerful than I is not used for just about as easy to use.
The final application in this group is VIM, vi IMproved. The original vi was a very popular text editor for Unix and Linux systems. Today, almost all Unix and Linux are working with other people, more sophisticated text editors. When I teach Linux on systems other than Damn Small Linux I teach a reduced version of the VI. This editor is cumbersome, but you do like the improved version. Damn Small Linux offers a selection.
The Office folder contains Ted, a word processor that is compatible with Microsoft Word. Ted saves documents in RTF (Rich Text Format), the Microsoft Word and other word processors like OpenOffice can be read. Ted and Beaver are two different worlds: you can share documents back and forth between these two applications.
