While installing package vim-minimal-6.3.054-0.fc3.1: warning: /etc/vimrc created as /etc/vimrc.rpmnew I am new to linux and see this as an opportunity to learn a little more about my system. i could not find anything on the apt website that explains what these mean (are they errors or warnings or just unimportant info), and nothing in google. Could someone lend me some insight to what all this is? Or better yet, a link that has more in-depth info?
