Browse - computer tips - vi and vimDate: 2007oct29 Q. Why isn't vi doing those advanced vim functions? A. My my Red Hat Fedora 7 (and also on a CentOS 5) box I found that file /bin/vi was a basic version of vi that didn't do much of the fancy stuff. For example it didn't remember the line you were last editing a file on. I this this by making a symbolic link from /bin/vi /usr/bin/vim # cd /bin # mv vi vi.OLD # ln -s /usr/bin/vim .
