.vimrc location

#locate vimrc "The path to enlightenment is /usr/bin/enlightenment"

.foorc = runtime configuration file for programme "foo" located in user's home directory. /etc/foorc (if it exists) = global (all users) runtime configuration file for programme "foo", overridden by .foorc, if it exists. Suggesting to someone who cannot find an 'rc' file that '#locate vimrc' is a useful command is not very helpful.

And yet, the question was answered. In fact, the queastion was answered in such a way as to permit any user to locate any file under any distribution since the vimrc file may reside in verying locations on various distributions. I liked the answer :) Ernie [ewilcox@buckeye-express.com] ICQ 41060744 Registered Linux User 247790

Really? - typing in a comment at the command line has never managed to locate a file for me, and a distro that fails to conform to the FHS in such an extreme manner is rare (I've never seen one) and may well not install [s]locate by default either :)

Rather than (s)locate whose database may not be up to date: # find / -name .vimrc Although Wolfbone's answer is probably the most useful one....

i still havent find the .vimrc file not in etc, not in /usr/bin I am using Sun Linux Ali Abbas
