I recently switched from OS X to Ubuntu. When I run the ‘vim file.c’ command at terminal, I see an error message that read as follows:
The program ‘vim’ can be found in the following packages:
* vim
* vim-gnome
* vim-tiny
* vim-athena
* vim-gtk
* vim-nox
Try: apt-get install <selected package>
How do I fix this problem and why vim is not a default text editor on Ubuntu Linux? How can I install full-fledged vim text editor in Ubuntu Linux?
I am a new Unix / Linux user. I am using
whatis command to find man pages. But, I noticed that some man pages have a common names. For example, when I run
