Interesting! No arguing with it. My mainstream system is Mandrake 10.1 CE, and on it, vim weighs in at a mighty 1.2M, and nano (not nano-tiny - never heard of that before) at 129K. VE looked pretty good in a features per byte comparison at those sizes: at 37K for nano-tiny, I agree that it is a good deal. You get a lot for your 37K (assuming nano-tiny has all the features that nano has). I'll have to play with it some more and find out. I had assumed that "nano" was "nano".

In DSL, both nano and vim are shrunken versions of those found in other distros.  In most cases, as far as I can see, the features removed are not vital for most users.  For example, DSL Vim does not have syntax highlighting, macros, plugins, etc., which take up a lot of space but do not really hinder the user when removed.

The only thing, as far as I can tell, that was removed from nano is the spellcheck function. Spellcheck features are fat, usually anyway.

I hope that a Linux cannot be a Linux without vi/m, although, in the spirit of freedom...
Would like to know a little of flightlinux training.
