About

Vim is a highly configurable text editor built for creating and changing any kind of text efficiently. It is included as "vi" with most UNIX systems and with Apple OS X. Vim is rock stable and is continuously being developed to become even better. Vim is persistent, multi-level, with an extensive plugin system, support for hundreds of programming languages and file formats, powerful search and replace feature, and it integrates with many tools. Vim online is a central place for the Vim community to store useful Vim tips and tools. Vim has a scripting language that allows for plugin like extensions to enable IDE behavior, syntax highlighting, colorization as well as other advanced features. These scripts can be uploaded and maintained using Vim online. Vim stands for Vi IMproved. It used to be Vi IMitation, but there are so many improvements that a name change was appropriate. Vim is a text editor which includes almost all the commands from the Unix program "Vi".

About

OpenIndiana is an operating system from and for the illumos community, it branches from the UNIX-derived family tree, and as such it can sometimes seem quite complex. But with a little help and information, once you know the basics, you will find it actually has some of the nicest and friendliest tools around. As most Unix-derived operating system, it can be completely controlled via a Command Line Interface shell, but it also supports a windowing GUI system. From the CLI, it supports a number of different shells, the two main ones being ksh93 and Bash. It also supports the original SunOS SVR4 commands, the command and syntax famiilar to BSD users, and a large portion of the GNU userland commands that most Linux users are familiar with. You can select any or all of those different commands from your shell configuration, giving you the environment you are most happy with.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • As a past SunSparc and Solaris user I knew what I was getting into when I tested the latest version of OpenIndiana Hipster. OI is a solid, powerful and very stable system that was designed as a server. However, that never stopped me using it as a desktop back in the CDE days and I use Mate on Linux, so I can't complain about it's current looks and features. A large enough suite of apps is also available, including, LaTex, Firefox, Librewolf Browser, Abiword and Libreoffice. I also found that all of the Firefox extensions I use on Linux were also available on this platform and worked seamlessly. Even my NVidia card worked out of the box. Frankly, at times I forgot I wasn't using Linux or FreeBSD.
  • It supposed to be Unix, as we know from Sun Microsystem's time. this operating system should be an opportunity to learn major base to developed something reliable and good.

Cons

  • Nevertheless, I cannot recommend OI as a drop-in replacement for either Linux or FreeBSD or for inexperienced users because this OS is not noob territory, it is very command line dependent and requires a learning curve. For example, there is no graphical software repository. Everything is done via the standard pkg or the non standard pkgin package managers via the terminal. Coming from Unix, I don't mind at all, but I can see that users coming from Windows will never adapt and others will find this frustrating. What make it worse is that proprietary codecs are either not available or don't work. I tried. This means no MP4, no DRM and hit and miss YouTube playback.
  • It does not support network interfaces very well. it does not support existing - well known and recently produced - pc brands. as an example i can point on hp compaq pro 6305 sff, or Dell Optiplex 755 series. difficulty to use certain commands. nobody wrote any book about operating system. none of the usb created .iso work for me. only dvd. documentation from oracle? to descriptive and not enough useful for the practice. too many features are hidden.
