System crontab

Hi,

I have been setting up a cron job and found out there are two different crons. 1) the user cron located at  /var/spool/cron/ on my Fedora Box and 2) the system crontab located at /etc/crontab .

When I do the crontab -e (if I am recalling correctly) I am editing the user crontab. 

To edit the system crontab do I just use VI or some other editor?

I would have thought if I were root and issued crontab -e I would have been editing the system crontab, however this was not my experience.

Thanks in advance for your insight.
