Text editors

• Graphical text editors are fine, but often can't be used on embedded systems when you just have a text console.

• For small changes, using a text-only editor through a remote connection to the target is much more efficient than editing files on the host and transferring them over and over again.

• You could use standard text-only editors from the desktop: See http://free-electrons.com/training/intro_unix_linux

• However, none of them are designed to be small in size.
