On the other hand, Vi - improved, the glorious Vim , is
worth learning because of its staggering flexibility - and anyone
using Mandrake 6.1 or 7 gets a natty GTK interface with pretty icons
and all the things that those poor souls suckled on Windows need to
feel right at home. Try the Vim Homepage [www.vim.org ]for info and
downloads.
The only reason I'm sticking with Mandrake 6.1 is that I couldn't
persuade 7.0 to compile the latest Vim............ :-)
