 Of course there are much more useful aliases to be made than the one above! 
  
 Take for example: 
-<tt>alias apt='sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list'</tt> 
+<tt>alias apt='sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list'</tt> 
  
 Think about how many times you have edited this file. Wouldn't typing 'apt' be so much nicer? 
 This alias will only last while you have this terminal window open if you want a permanent one, read on :)

 Uncomment these three lines (or if they don't exist add them). Now save. 
  
 Now do: 
-*<tt>nano ~~/.bash_aliases</tt> 
+*<tt>vim ~~/.bash_aliases</tt> 
  
 Add all your aliases (in the same format as above) with each being on a separate line. Save when you are done. 
 Good stuff, now open a new terminal. Hopefully your aliases will work like a charm.
