okay, so i # apt-get install vim vim-rt and vi still points to elvis, so i # update-alternatives --install `which vi` vi /usr/bin/vim 150 to use vim as default vi, and immediately run into syntax difficulties in my ~/.exrc which i fix... i get no syntax hilighting at all (the 'file ends here, so we'll show a tilde from here own down' is blue but that's all that's colored). i see there are kahuna mongo syntax files in what appears to be a settings dir at /usr/share/vim/vim56/syntax/* which would apparently be selected by /usr/share/vim/vim56/filetype.vim if it were called from the appropriate place at the appropriate time... how is that supposed to be set up? did i overlook something?
