Ugh!  no!  Linux vi is NOT VIM.  And vim is NOT vi.  vim is vim.

Linux vi is any of:  nvi, elvis, vim, ae.

Which one depends entirely on your distribution.

I use debian, an install nvi as vi, and vim as vim.

Distributions that package vim as vi should be hurt severely as vim has a LOT
of non-vi behaviour by default which results in lots of braindamaged linux
users who think that there's something wrong with the plain unix vi.

I have no problems against vim, I have problems with people who try to brand
vim as being vi.
