Why on earth would you reuse such a long-established name? Pico has been around for 35 years and many distros include it by default (or symlink `pico` to nano, anyway).


view as:

I didn't know there was already a long-established project called Pico :)

As someone suggested below, I'll rename to 'Piko'

Post GPL3 Apple replaced GNU Nano (itself a Pico clone) with UW Pico. A step backwards perhaps, but nano is a symlink to pico. I'd steer clear of anything that looks/sounds like 'pico' including 'piko' which doesn't seem to clear anything up.

Ahh, what different worlds we all live in, unknowingly! :-)
