debian packages 4 kinds of vim: 1. vim-tiny: This is Tiny version of vim, pretty useless IMO. 2. vim: This is Huge version of vim without GUI support and without X11 support. 3. vim-gtk: This is Huge version with GTK+2 support. 4. vim-gnome: This is vim-gtk with gnome/kde session support. So you see, you cannot get a normal version from debian package manager. And you really need the Huge version just in order to get the syntax highlight. Personally, I always compile my own vim, because I want a console-only vim with X11 support. (console vim with X11 supports mouse) -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
