I agree with Chris, any system that does not have vi would be a highly
tied-down firewall or so old as to be up for replacement.  There are
many machines out there which only have vi, however.  Learn a *bit* of
vi.  You don't have to be a wiz, but you should be able to do the basic
editing tasks.  I know enough vi to get XEmacs installed on a Debian box
that has only the "base" packages installed :)
