vi is by far and away the most widely used editor in any *nix space, and the most powerful and frankly the best.

nano — why?

Nano would be better, even emacs. And now please please please, no DUMB!!! comment that vi is the only editor that will be installed everywhere. The next time I hear this one I am going to beat the person to death for it. And this in the age of GIGA and TERRABYTES. Apt-get install nano… what the heck???

after

do-release-upgrade

i got

Checking for a new ubuntu release No new release found

which is a bit misleading

reason – machine had no network access through NAT, what was required nor documented anywhere, instead try:

http_proxy="http://ip:port" do-release-upgrade

should work.

I tried this but on running do-release-upgrade got:

Checking for a new ubuntu release No new release found

Editing /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades to change Prompt=lts to Prompt=normal allowed do-release-upgrade to offer an update to 8.10
