No idea. I compile vim on Debian for ruby support (command-t). Probably vim-gtk. So I'm putting this back on the list.

You do know about gvim right?

not really.. should I?
when I try to install it I get:
 apt-get install gvim
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree      
Reading state information... Done
Package gvim is a virtual package provided by:
  vim-gtk 2:7.3.547-7
  vim-gnome 2:7.3.547-7
  vim-athena 2:7.3.547-7
You should explicitly select one to install.


so, which one is right?

 ok, so synaptics actually had VIM..
here is what I now have installed..
dpkg -l|grep vim
ii  vim                                   2:7.3.547-7                        amd64        Vi IMproved - enhanced vi editor
ii  vim-addon-manager                     0.5.2                              all          manager of addons for the Vim editor
ii  vim-common                            2:7.3.547-7                        amd64        Vi IMproved - Common files
ii  vim-gnome                             2:7.3.547-7                        amd64        Vi IMproved - enhanced vi editor - with GNOME2 GUI
ii  vim-gui-common                        2:7.3.547-7                        all          Vi IMproved - Common GUI files
ii  vim-runtime                           2:7.3.547-7                        all          Vi IMproved - Runtime files
ii  vim-scripts                           20121007                           all          plugins for vim, adding bells and whistles
ii  vim-tiny                              2:7.3.547-7                        amd64        Vi IMproved - enhanced vi editor - compact version

I tried to vim a file.. nice interface! I'll have to play with it.
