When I compare xterm.el and vt100.el with linux.el, then I see that
linux.el does make any key bindings. Reason can be that every Linux
distribution changes the TERMCAP entry every few months in a
distribution personalised fashion, so it does not make any sense to
create sensible key bindings.
The question is why anyone is using such a thing. Xterm can be a
console, too, it only needs an X server and an option. Are you using
this "linux" terminal device as a Linux virtual console? Isn't vi
sufficient for a bit of editing in this situation?
