What is found on some distros is that there is no "vim" in the command
path, but whenever I've encountered that, it is simply because vim has
supplanted obsolete vi:

$ file /etc/alternatives/vi
/etc/alternatives/vi: symbolic link to `/usr/bin/vim.basic'

Has that led to some initial confusion? (Or is it called kvim there?)
