No! I am transferring from Suse 9.2, and have not used windows for a
year and a half. I found Windows ME (Multidysfunctional Edition) to be
a great reason to try something else!
From console(after su and password), I ran nautilus. Accessed the file
from nautilus, and edited it with gedit. If this is a problem, I may
have to overcome my phobias and learn to edit things direct from console.
