use pico, its a console editor
pico -w file  (the -w does wordwrap)

the only directorys i look in are:

/var/log - to see the mail logs and system message logs
/etc - is where the config files mostly live
/home is where all the users and sites live


/home
    /sites
        /www.yourdomain.com
              /web  <-------- this is where you need to upload the site for
your www.domain.co.uk
              /log
              /certs
              /users
                  /fred
                  /barny
                  /wilma
                      /web  <---------- this is where you need to upload
each users site (www.domain.co.uk/~wilma)

(something like that on my Cobalt RaQ3)

i doubt youll need any others (correct me if im wrong)
