In my default f9 installation vi is an alias for vim. Run: alias
and see.
Note that the alias is NOT set for the root user. "vi" as the root user
will run /bin/vi (which is vim-minimal). Regular vim is in
/usr/bin/vim.
This split is because you probably need vi (or some editor) when running
in single-user mode where /usr isn't mounted (and /usr/bin/vim isn't
available), and vim-minimal is roughly 1/3 the size of vim.
