  A TERMINAL-BASED TEXT EDITOR

  With Linux admin, there’s no way around the fact that (at some point) you’re going to have to configure an app or service by way of a configuration file. When you’re on a server without a GUI, that means you’ll be working with a terminal-based text editor. For that, you could use the likes of vi, vim, emacs or nano. My personal preference is nano because it’s simple and doesn’t require you first know a ton of keyboard shortcuts, just to handle simple text editing.

  It doesn’t matter which text editor you choose as your go-to. It is, however, critical that you fully embrace one of these editors and know how to use it in your sleep.
