Upgrade Vim in CentOS 4

In order to highlight the syntax in vi editor in CentOS 4, I tried : syntax on etc and all of them did not work.

Here is one simple method I have done and it works fine.

Step 1

# yum install vim-enhanced

or

# yum upgrade vim

Step 2

add alias vi="vim" in .bashrc (  I use bash)

it’s just simple amazing!
