Repository Updates and New Editor

I modified /etc/apt/sources.list to include the 'Universe' repositories (by uncommenting those two lines), and then ran an update add the packages to the catalog.

sudo apt-get update

No issues.

Next, I installed a different editor called JED so that I could escape VI.

sudo apt-get install jed

I've only tried it once, but it looks to be a little more intuitive for me.
