Use joe:

 it's being maintained
 it's in the red hat tree for a long time
 it's used by alan cox and I wonder if that's why it's in rhl :)
 it's 284K total, installed
 it has built in keybindings for:
   emacs, wordstar and pico.

 run jmacs, jstar or jpico
or just run joe and learn it's bindings.

it's  a great, simple, REALLY lightweight editor.
