Specifically a couple for/or in replacement of "etc-update".  I
believe there are 3 replacements.

I personally use "vimdiff" from a console. Works great. And the GUI
equivalent is "gvimdiff" if you like the GUI. This is what I
absolutely luv about *nix. There's so many choices and creative ways
that people in our community provide us to perform the same task. :D
