Vim on Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron)

If you are like me you enjoy the uninhibited feeling of using a text editor such as Vim. If you are using Vim you also are probably using a Linux or maybe an Apple machine. If not god rest your soul (Windows development drives me bonkers). Well I'll get to the point. I installed Hardy Heron, version 8.04 of Ubuntu, onto my laptop. The version of Vim installed by default could only be described as broken. I'm sure they didn't want to fill up disk space with a full version; assuming correctly (my opinion) that most users would never give it a crack. So what is the good looking, charming and generally decent smelling Vim user to do? Never fear just use your old friend apt-get:

sudo apt-get install vim-full

And with that you can now edit to your hearts content.
