By default, vim isn’t fully installed on Ubuntu and for stuff like syntax highlighting, you need to install the full version manually:
sudo apt-get install vim
For the record, my .vimrc looks like this:
set nocompatible
set backspace=indent,eol,start
set autoindent
set incsearch
syntax on
set hlsearch
filetype plugin indent on
noremap Bs Del
noremap Del Bs
noremap!Bs Del
noremap!Del Bs
:set bs=2
