VIM-Crypt help

Hi,

I am using a (vi -x) crypted file with my passwords, copying it for
backup to various systems.
I created this file in a CygWin environment on WinXP
I expected, that I could open it on other linux/unix platforms. It
works on hp-ux for example.
Now I migrated one XP/Cygwin environment to Fedora 14, and to my
suprise, vi does not know option -x.....

[kas@fedje ~]$ vi -x
VIM - Vi IMproved 7.3 (2010 Aug 15, compiled Nov 16 2010 17:05:33)
Unknown option argument: "-x"
More info with: "vim -h"
[kas@fedje ~]$ vim -h
Command not found.

I already noticed a similar situation on my little Ubuntu 8.04 server,
but ignored it, since I had the XP/Cygwin.

I am really surprised that two products from the RedHat stable have
different implementations of vi/vim

what do I need to do, to be able to do my familiar 'vi -x' on the
Fedora 14 (and possibly Ubuntu 8.04)

thanks for your time
Kasper
