VI... It's just not for me

I'm using putty to SSH into the Edison.
In order to set a static IP address I need to edit some config files.

I don't like VI... so I came across a very simple way to install nano on the Edison:

wget http://www.nano-editor.org/dist/v2.2/nano-2.2.6.tar.gz && tar xvf nano-2.2.6.tar.gz && cd nano-2.2.6 && ./configure && make && make install 

The above code worked for me immediately.
Enjoy!
