True; but you can always use gvim -v (if you have a GUI version
installed and, of course, X11 started and available, as in an xterm) as
a console-mode Vim on Unix/Linux. If you compile Vim yourelf (a practice
which is quite "widespread" on Unix/Linux AFAIK) it will usually be a
GUI-enabled version doing double duty as both vim and gvim (and view,
gview, etc.), so it will have X11 support.

False, see :help w32-clientserver
