You have reached the GNU Coreutils mailing list. The GNU Coreutils are the basic file, shell and text manipulation utilities of the GNU Operating System. You can learn more about GNU Coreutils here: http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/ The GNU Coreutils are part of the GNU Operating System. You can learn more about the GNU Project here: http://www.gnu.org/ But you are asking about vi on Ubuntu. I am sorry but this is the wrong mailing list. We don't know anything about that here. We are unable to help you here. If you are using Ubuntu then the Ubuntu users mailing list would be a better source of information. http://www.ubuntu.com/support/communitysupport http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community/mailinglists > Could you please suggest what is the reason? Is there a difference > between standard unix vi edition and linux vi edition? The Ubuntu distribution ships vim (not "the real vi") as 'vi'. There are many differences. But a whole generation of new users have learned vim over having learned vi and prefer it that way. To have the real vi I suggest installing nvi and adjusting the alternatives accordingly. sudo apt-get install nvi sudo update-alternatives --set vi /usr/bin/nvi Bob
