vim linux mint bottom toolbar

Question

ive been trying Vim/Gvim, in both windows and linux (mint), but something seems to be missing.

Im missing the bottom "status" bar from the linux version, the one that indicates the key pressed. Am i missing something?

Windows version with bottom toolbar: Notice the q, the what I assume to be line number, etc Image on imageshack, since no rep to post images:

Put this in your ~/.vimrc:

set ruler showcmd
