OK. first: total newbie here, to the max...

I have an old IBM netfinity server I want to use for some very light software/web development. It is old, several years ago I did have LINUX on it briefly, so I know the GUIs will work on it. That's the problem I am dealing with now.

I believe I have found the answer; a way to default to basic VGA. But I know zero about the emacs text editor included with this install. I am happy to read/learn on my own, but haven't found anything yet in a search here.

Any pointers would be great, thanks. Just need info on where to get the info on using emacs text editor.

Thanks,

Joe
