Actually no, but I would have agreed with you earlier on in this thread, when I
installed vim-full. I guess you haven't bothered reading the entire thread.
You're not accurate regarding vim-tiny, you'll notice that it's capable of
colour syntax highlighting;
:/etc/apt# aptitude show vim-tiny

Description: Vi IMproved - enhanced vi editor - compact version
Vim is an almost compatible version of the UNIX editor Vi.
Many new features have been added: multi level undo, syntax
highlighting, command line history, on-line help, filename
completion, block operations, folding, Unicode support, etc.
This package contains a minimal version of vim compiled with no
GUI and a small subset of features in order to keep small the
package size. This package does not depend on the vim-runtime
package, but installing it you will get its additional benefits
(online documentation, plugins, ...).
So, perhaps the vim-full isn't what I needed, according to some earlier in the
thread. Seems like vim-tiny will do all that I need it for, without all the
bloat for the GUI which I don't use.
Thanks anyways.
