Yes, it'll "help", but I understood the OP's question as how to get new files written by VIm to have LF line endings *by default*. Once you already have a file with CRLF line endings, Reid's answer about 'fileformat' is the way to go. Also, the 'fileformats' option (note the 's' at the end) configures this behavior (":se ffs=unix" will turn off this "help").
