syntax highlighting in vim in Ubuntu

Today I finally noticed that syntax highlighting wasn't working in vim in Ubuntu. Installing vim-full and adding syntax on to ~/.vimrc did the trick.

    Carl, I'm dissapointed in you. Vim?? It's like I don't even know you anymore.

    But I still use fluxbox.

  3. Good man. Are you using Fluxbox ontop of Ubuntu? Or Fluxbuntu?

    VIM.....tisk, tisk, tisk.

  5. As the headline says "Using gnu linux through creative laziness"

    Really lazy people spend a bit of effort learning how to do it properly. Thus minimising future effort and maximising time at the beach.

    VIM only for the creatively lazy!
