Well, its not an informational site. Cream is an integrated set of macros which makes starting of vim use less painfull. It works under Linux and Windows.

I use vim on remote hosts.

I'm curious which distribution contains vi?

Well, Arch Linux for one. At least until you upgrade it yourself.

I can't imagine that Arch is the only one either. Xubuntu, anyone? Ubuntu comes default with some strange flavor of vim that I can't stand, so I always install vim-nox ASAP on new machines.

Xubuntu has vim 7.1.138 by default. That's not so out of date.
NetBSD comes with nvi, which is a clone of the original vi: http://www.bostic.com/vi/
AIX comes with vi by default.
