    Eight Megabytes And Constantly Swapping, it's a great OS but it needs a text editor, etc.

    Seriously though, it's really excellent that such a mature project can continue to advance. Not many projects can continue to grow for 36 years

    A more common issue is that Emacs just isn't installed by default on as many servers. So it's a good idea to know how to use vi to go to a line, perform a search, insert some text and save the file at the very least.
