True vim is not. But vi should be. I'm not aware of any Linux distro which does not install it. Do you know of a distro that does not? Even Ubuntu with it's nano default editor installs vi, if I'm not mistaken. Some distros use a stripped-down version of vim (perhaps vim-tiny) instead of vi, but the command "vi" is always going to be there. Even on my embedded OpenWRT devices! -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
