vi? O_O Would nano not work? I got stuck in vi once. I felt like I
was in Hotel California. :/ Got that tune in your head now huh? lol
I'm going to see what else is available too. I bet since Krename is
installed, rename is installed too. I'm sure Krename is just a GUI
front end to something already on here.
Oh, if I learn vi, I'd learn sed, gawk and those other weird named
commands too. I'd be a official something. I'm already called a geek
and a nerd. ;-) Gentoo you know?
