kernel: manage the /usr/src/linux symlink
pager: manage the PAGER environment variable, this will influence what programs will use to display pages of text to the user such as nano, vi or emacs
visual: manage the VISUAL environment variable, to set the default text editor for capable terminals.
sh: change the default system shell
v: manage the /usr/bin/vi symlink
