Vim

Vim is an improved version of vim, should be fully compatible with the good old vi software although some options might make it incompatible.

vim on redhat plainly sux cause they have been too lazy to offer a cool default vimrc. So I scped the debian one and put it in my user dir (file vimrc o+r).

You can copy this file in your ~/ , eventually edit it to add / comment options.

To get this options loaded by vim everytime you launch it, the easiest solution is to create an alias in your .bashrc file :

# load a customized vim
alias vim = 'vim -u ~/vimrc'
# replace vi
alias vi = 'vim -u ~/vimrc'

Happy viming :o)
