title: Vim 7.3 on Ubuntu 12.10 doesn't have 'ftplugin' directory anywhere
body: <p>Vim 7.3 on Ubuntu 12.10</p>
  
  <p>I recently installed vim from the Ubuntu software center. So far, I've installed the following vim plugins: NERDTree, rails and ack.</p>
  
  <p>I'm taking a course on python and another one on Ruby on Rails. I was surprised that vim didn't recognize the languages as far as indenting goes. Checking various questions and answers on this forum, as well as checking vim help, I see that there should be a directory named 'ftplugin' in the $VIMRUNTIME directory. My $VIMRUNTIME is just the same as $HOME which is ~/, but there is no 'ftplugin' in my home directory. There's also nothing like that in ~/.vim. Does that mean I don't have any filetype plugins?</p>
  
  <p>If I don't, where can I get the usual set?</p>
