[ubuntu-uk] Advanced vi/vim command - commenting out a large section

Hello,

We sometimes need to quickly comment out a, for example, vhost config in
vi. Now, I've worked out that you can add the first comment #, ESC and
then hit DOWN, FULL-STOP, DOWN, FULL-STOP etc to quickly comment out
multiple lines.

But, what I'd love, is a way I can type say 11 <command> and get it to
turn 11 lines into a comment.

Does anyone know of a nice way to do that in vim?

Johnathon
