You can install the vim-editor instead. It can be done with the command:<br />
<br />
yum install vim-minimal.i386.<br />
<br />
You may need to run yum install vim-common.i386 also.<br />
<br />
After that you can run the vi command as usual and it will run vim in stead (which is an enhanced version of vi)<br />
<br />
Remember to change i386 if you are using another arch.
