Beginner's Guide to the Vi editor

I guess that I'm focusing things that aid the average beginning Linux user because I am one.

So, theme for July/August is tutorials/articles that should be of interest to newbies such as myself.
Hope my reader(s) enjoy.

Beginner's Guide to the Vi Editor is a quick-start basics guide to the vi editor made by the lovely folks at UCSD. A great basics tutorial for those who still aren't quite sure exactly what sudo is, and a great tutorial for the linux users that have never really messed with vi that much either.

That's a great jumpstart, but for those like myself who have to read multiple tutorials to get a true grasp of something, I've compiled a list of various tutorals on the vi text editor.

Linux Online, in addition to its many other tutorials, provides a good introductory lesson to vi and its commands.

The University of Oregon provides this tutorial that, though less extensive than Linux Online's, is a pretty good overview.
