I was playing around a on virgin DSVR (vs300) account for a few hours during the week, just getting php and mysql ready for use. vi was being really annoying, giving me the dreaded A B C D routine when the arrow keys were pressed in insert mode.

vim in compatible mode, I could’nt find a vimrc anywhere so I placed this into ~/.vimrc

set nocompatible
set backspace=indent,eol,start
set background=dark
syntax on
set history=50
set ruler
set noautoindent

much better!
