    EMACS the only software you need.
    I remember being told this before rushing home to d/l and install it.
    It gave me a hunger for linux too and though I never mastered its complexities for most things I do,It is amazing and I hope it stays maintained.
    RMS is amazing,I wish him well in any venture he chooses.
