In many Linux distributions, vi is aliased to VIM in the default shell profile. Therefore, you could be using and getting comfortable with VIM (which is not VI). FreeBSD comes with the real and original VI. If you want, you can get VIM via ports and alias VI to VIM. -Burhan Roberto Armenteros wrote: > I started using vi in linux and it became my favorite > text editor.
