How can I turn off colors in vi (actually vim) permanently?
rpm -e vim-data


Okay, I gotta ask. Cristian's solution earlier created an empty .vimrc
file with "syntax off" in it and it works perfectly. Best of all, it is
a non-destructive solution.

Your solution (which may also work) is to remove a package. Just what
functionality would I have lost if I had gone your route?

You'd lose the colors. In all other respects vim would work perfectly, and
that's how I like it. I really don't appreciate trying to make out dark blue
text on my black xterm, so I always nuke that irritant soon after install.

On a server with many users, I'd naturally lean towards the other solution,
just in case somebody actually wanted those colors.
