Ok, so I got emacs installed and working on Ubuntu. The problem I was having was that when I configured my xserver (one for the 40 or so times) I somehow managed to get the wrong font paths in there.
Emacs is fun if for no other reason than it is new to me. I have only been doing basic editing in it for a few minutes, but it is interesting to see my urge to use vim keystrokes in it. A problem I have gotten over in other editors. I think the problem is that I know there are quicker ways to do stuff in the edit area, but I can’t use them (because I don’t know them yet) and I also know that the typical GUI editor tricks won’t/don’t work. It’s kind of funny…like hitting your elbow off a table…it hurts, but it makes you laugh because you can’t use your arm anymore.
