Logged as root on a CentOS 5.3, I can’t have colors in vim (7.0.237, minimal, common and enhanced rpms), even with :syntax on …
I can display colors with other commands, so I have colors (I don’t know how many !)
Any clue ?
Thanks.

CentOS comes with a “tiny” version of Vim installed which has limited features.
You’ll have to install the “enhanced” package if you want all of the good stuff.
At least that was what I had to do with CentOS 5.
To list all of the Vim packages:
There should be an enhanced version there (hopefully).
