vi mode from command line

[buford]

At work I use the ksh shell and am able to edit command line stuff with vi commands. Can I do this in Linux as well if I'm using the bash shell? Or do I need to be in the ksh shell? I think I have to put something in my ~/.bashrc file?

it does not mater what shell you are using (so long as the path to vi is include, which is /usr/bin/ or /bin for for every *NIX i have used, although i have seen gvim installed to /usr/local/gvim). if you have color tags set up then you will probably want a ~/.vimrc

I don't use Linux because I hate Windows (which I do) I use Linux because I like it.

Yeah, you can use either an emacs or vi editing style in the bash shell. I can check my O'reilly bash shell book on how to switch if you're interested.
