tags: haiku os

So I installed Haiku on an old Lenovo T410. For the purpose of playing with Haiku, I bought
a used 120GB SSD off eBay so as not to need to wipe an existing SSD. 

I think it's quite delightful at first look,
but now I want to actually do stuff with it. That means learning how to program it,
and how to install and configure stuff.

# Initial Questions 1
* How do I install vim
    * Posted a question at [discuss.haiku-os.org](https://discuss.haiku-os.org/t/how-to-install-vim/15668)
    * answer: `pkgman install vim`
    * `vimrc` is in `~/config/settings/vim/vimrc`, I just put `~/.vim` and `~/.vimrc` as I have on Linux
        and then my `~/config/settings/vim/vimrc` contains the one line `source ~/.vimrc`
* How do I edit the `hosts` file, or somehow give a local mapping of name to ip address (my router doesn't
    do this properly, so I use `hosts` files on my LAN).
    * It appears that `hosts` goes in `/system/settings/network`, which seems quite sensible once you know.
