I habitually type 'vim' and remember immediately if it isn't installed yet. I developed this habit because the Solaris machine at school has "Version SVR4.0, Solaris 2.5.0" as 'vi' and vim is installed as 'vim'. Hmm, interesting, if I type 'vi' on my debian box I actually get vim (I never tried before). -D
