Not until they fix their default vim configuration. Arrows, pgup/pgdown, home/end should work out of box in both modes.

Or you could stop being childish and use the correct keys for navigation.

Arrows are correct because they present on my keyboard. I could wish you to stop being childish but I'd rather wish you die out along with your BSDs.

You might call it that. Not very pretty, but workhorses are 64 bit athalons, some dual core, low cost.

I used to live like you, but with the onset of virtualization dramatically reduced my power consumption and green footprint with Xen and VMWare.

I use the following in my home setup: 16 ubuntu machines, 3 OpenBSD machines, 1 freebsd, 8 centos (one headnode, 7 diskless compute nodes) 2 osx, 1 windows (oops-two; wife's laptop). Several of these are old recycled boxes, but every one of these has a job. In retrospect, I wish I had done 8 of the ubuntu servers as freebsd.

Sounds like a beautiful setup. What is your electricity bill like? ;)

Not really all that bad. Policy is to not buy the leading-edge stuff, so they don't consume as much power as say, an opteron would.

Did you know that the keys hjkl on the home row are left, up, down, and right respectively?
