How to customize vimrc in RHEL 5.9? (I have seen viminfo in ubuntu
13.10)
Over all my vi editor in RHEL 5.9 is not fully functional.
I think that "out of the box", RHEL has only vim-tiny installed.
You can check this by executing ":version" within vim or "vim
--version" at a shell prompt. The fourth or fifth line will tell
you the version type.
Pedantic: the rpm name is vim-minimal. You want to install the
vim-enhanced rpm ("yum install vim-enhanced").
Also note that 'vi' always invokes vim in minimal mode; you need to
explicitly invoke it as 'vim' if you want highlighting, etc.
(Personally, I "alias vi=vim".)
(I checked these package names on my own CentOS 5.x system; they're
pretty much "the standard" for Fedora and relatives, and should be the
same for RHEL 5.9.)
