Installing vim/emacs on solaris 8  view full story
http://unix.stackexchange.com – At my new job, they want me to
use a solaris 8 operating system, but all my coding experience
has been on linux. Linux had a lot of tools built into the
system, but it seems like the solaris I'm using is extremely
stripped down. I was wondering if someone can tell me how to
install vim or emacs (preferably emacs) on solaris 8. I tried
google but I couldn't find any download links for solaris 8. I
tried using vi, but it's a little annoying to use after using
vim and emacs (I can't even get the editor to backspace
correctly!). Also, there is no syntax highlighting in vi which
is a little annoyi (HowTos)
