For some reason they don't include the X version of vi by default so I always 
have to do:

yum install vim-X11

Then just call gvim instead of vi/vim - gvim being what is called if you 
KDE/GNOME menus.

Having done that it has always automatically had syntax highlighting turned on 
for Perl, PHP. Javascript, Bash,.....

I spend most of my time working over SSH connections to various servers and 
editing using gvim to be the quickest to use - not to mention most powerful.
