[ale] about VI, was Re: Richard Stallman at the University of Georgia

[Lightner, Jeff]

Similar for CentOS/RHEL.

Note the vi you see is from the "vim-minimal" package if it is same as CentOS/RHEL.

Other interesting vim tools seen on CentOS/RHEL:
/usr/bin/vimdiff -> vim
/usr/bin/gvimdiff -> gvim
/usr/bin/vimx -> gvim
