	You need to get at least familiar with vi if you think there's even a
remote chance you will be on a UNIX or UNIX-like system.  It is the only
editor that is virtually guaranteed to be there.

	The best bet is to lean vim as it's far-and-away better and more
powerful than any of the usual GUI editors.

	The sudoers file should not be executable.
