A bit about

Hello, everyone! All you can see below is just my bank of information. Some material I've found in the fathomless net, some I've learned myself.

Colorless VIM in Debian

After installation of Debian 4.0 I had no colors when using Vim. Command like ":syntax on" gave no results, instead it reported: "E319: Sorry, the command is not available in this version". The solution was found there http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-install-full-vim-under-ubuntu-linux/.

Debian distributives (my and also Ubuntu, as I could see in the source above) install vim-tiny by default. Just "apt-get" a normal version of Vim:
# apt-get install vim

And also uncomment line "syntax on" in /etc/vim/vimrc if it's still commented.
