As Marc and Tim have written, to copy and paste easily between Vim
running in a terminal and the X clipboard, you will need a version
of Vim with clipboard, X11 and xterm_clipboard enabled.
Unfortunately, the vim packages provided by some of the more popular
Linux distributions do not have these features enabled. If your vim
does not have those features, and you have gvim installed, you can
get vim in a terminal with X features enabled by running

gvim -v
