Hi there.
I'm working on an old RedHat linux distro.
I'm trying to understand how to enable syntax colorizing in vi.
On debian (based) distros I usually add "syntax enable" line into /etc/vim/vimrc but red-hat does not have such file.
Any suggestion?
try searching for .vimrc. On my slackware box I didnt have any colors and the arrow keys were not working. So I went to /usr/local/share/vim/vim58 and copied the vimrc_example.vim to the home directory and renamed it to .vimrc. Hope this helps.
