How do I edit text files (e.g. configuration files)?

Unix FAQ - The macosxhints Forums
Unix text files (often called "plain text" files, or "ASCII" files) can be edited with any text editor that can save files in "plain text" format (i.e. without any special formatting or fonts, etc). Another requirement for a text editor for Unix text files is that it save files using the standard Unix convention for end-of-line characters.

Are there configuration files for PDL I have to edit?

PDL::FAQ - Frequently asked questions about PDL
Most users should not have to edit any configuration files manually. However, in some cases you might have to supply some information about akwardly placed include files/libraries or you might want to explicitly disable building some of the optional PDL modules. Check the files INSTALL and perldl.conf for details. If you had to manually edit perldl.conf and are happy with the results you can keep the file handy for future reference. Place it in ~/.perldl.

edit] How do I change the color of text?

FAQ - Inkscape Wiki
Text is not different from any other type of object in Inkscape. You can paint its fill and stroke with any color, as you would do with any object. Swatches palette, Fill and Stroke dialog, pasting style - all this works on texts exactly as it does on, for example, rectangles. Moreover, if in the Text tool you select part of a text by Shift+arrows or mouse drag, any color setting method will apply only to the selected part of the text.

edit] What about flowed text?

FAQ - Inkscape Wiki
When flowed text support was added to Inkscape, it was conformant to the then-current unfinished draft of SVG 1.2 specification (and was always described as an experimental feature). Unfortunately, in further SVG 1.2 drafts, the W3C decided to change the way this feature is specified. Currently SVG 1.2 is still not finished, and as a result, very few SVG renderers currently implement either the old or the new syntax of SVG 1.2 flowed text.

edit] Q) How do I edit text files in a terminal?

Slackware-FAQ - LQWiki
For system files (those stored in /etc) you need to be root to edit them, so you need to type 'su' in a terminal (either a real terminal, or one of the X terminals, such as xterm, konsole, gnome-terminal, etc) and enter the root password. For files in your home directory, you don't need to be root. If you're not that comfortable editing files, pico is an excellent tool for making quick, small changes.

What effect will Webmin have on my existing configuration files?

Webmin
Just installing Webmin will not cause any config file changes to be made. When you start to use it, only the config files related to the changes that you make in Webmin will be modified. For example, using the Apache Webserver module would not effect your Sendmail configuration. If you are using SSL, make sure you connect to a URL like https://myhost:10000/ instead of http://myhost:10000. Without the https, your browser won't use SSL mode and thus will display this error.
