On my systems, I set nano to be the default editor. Is this something
that can be done with some sort of configuration script? I don't find
anything like system-switch-mail for editors.
I do it in my kickstart files, but it can easily be done from a
command line. Since nano is only useful to people using the command
line, I think it completely appropriate...
Is a document describing this short process desirable to have on the
wiki?
yum install -y nano
echo "set nowrap" >>/etc/nanorc
cat <<EOF >>/etc/profile.d/nano.sh
export VISUAL="nano"
export EDITOR="nano"
EOF
