Thanks for the caution. I tried it out in Kubntu 6.10 but the vi is
broken and I can't even exit without writing changes. 'Esc -> : -> q!'
does not get registered. I remember, in Fedora-7 too, I could not use vi
to edit some files and had to use nano.
vi is no longer functioning properly in newer distros, atleast on my
system.
