Finding or installing nano on Linux

- If you're using a popular Linux distribution, such as Ubuntu, you've probably already got nano installed. To check, you can just open up a terminal window and type in: "which nano". And that'll tell you where the binary file is located. Of course, you can also just type nano and see if nano launches. If you're using a system, such as CentOs, that doesn't have nano installed by default, you can just install it from your distribution software repository. So on Debian that would be: "apt-get install nano". And on CentOs or Red Hat, that would be: "yum install nano". But it's already installed on my system, so I don't need to do anything else here.
