The article says you can use "Ctrl+Z" to quit vim, but this is not true. It will suspend VIM in the background, and you can use "fg" in bash to pull vim to the foreground again..!

Also it makes no note of vimtutor an excellent inbuilt interactive tutorial to vim.

Vi is a useful but a troublesome editor for Linux.
Always make a copy of original file before making the changes.
