I use Meld as well. It's outstanding.

But like you, I want to use a 'console' diff program for my remote servers
(that don't have X installed). 

I've looked for a HOWTO or quick tutorial on vimdiff and couldn't find one.
Got any pointers? I know very very little 'vi' enough to insert/delete/save
basically.
