Hi zak (or anyone who wants to respond), please explain what basic commands I need for VIM after committing a file with CVS, I was even unable to start the |tutor|, thus I did the only thing I knew :q! and committed without commenting, damn linux ;)

Hi waldschrott, Glad that I am able to help you with something :) If you have a short message to enter, use the -m flag in CVS. i.e. cvs commit -m"Hey I made a change" somefile.txt Vi basics: Vi has an edit mode and a command mode. Hit i (insert) or a (append) to enter edit mode. Hit escape to exit edit mode. :w to write changes to your file :wq to write then quit :viusage to get help /blah to use regex searches x to delete the character the cursor is over dd to delete a line I have some excellent Vi references that I can send you if you like. - Zak
