Hi All Newbie Question Here On X86

  I did have Caldera 2.2 setup, using boot majic with windows 95, using
KDE desktop. Wanted to try different brand of Linux.

  I have just setup Redhat 5.2 on a dual boot with Win 95 using the LILO
boot. That  works fine but now I need to set X86 interface so it starts
after the Linux bootup and I don't have to keep starting it manually,
thats a pain it butt.  The manual says to use a text editor to change to
a run level 5 from 3, I can find where to change this. Only problem is I
can't find a text editor to do this. I have looked through 3 books I
have on Linux and they have been of no help. Can anyone tell me the
command I need to use to get a text editor. Are the commands in Redhat
different then other Linux versions??

 Heres a second question I just thought of. Windows Is easy. Also found
DOS easy to use, Linux seems more complex. Will Linux get easier to use
when I get use to it or are you always fighting to get something to
work? Linux does look interesting amd if it is as stable as I have read
would be a nice change from the computer always locking up all of a
sudden like it does under Windows.

Thanks for any help
