Hi,
Vim of course.
I never setup a minimal distro install or whatever. I found the programs what I need and like always installed, because I have chosen the distro which came with these programs by default.
However, I found vim never installed.
Regards,

The first package I install ...
Ubuntu comes pretty loaded. But the first app that I reach for is Synaptic.
