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").
