Emacs: love it & bloat it

This is amazing, to get Emacs, on Ubuntu Server, you have to step down the mule for 110 MB of HDD, that is so much space, especially since the HDD only has 19 GB to begin with!

So, I did a bit of a searching for more Emacs (the best editor! ;) ) but povera editions, this is the second part, the first was Emacs on a shoestring

esteban@odin:~$ sudo apt-get install emacs

Abort.

So, a bit of cache searching is in order:

esteban@odin:~$ apt-cache search emacs-nox
mg - microscopic GNU Emacs-style editor
qemacs-nox - Small emacs clone editor (without X support)

This Emacs clone, QEmacs (for Quick Emacs) certainly looks very, very nice.

And, also, doing the cache search you'll find (among others):

esteban@odin:~$ apt-cache search emacs | less
emacs22-nox - The GNU Emacs editor (without X support)
emacs21-nox - The GNU Emacs editor (without X support)

But, even this non X version is still too big, HDD wise.
