In my OSX box, I want to see the same cursor details that I see down in right-corner of my Ubuntu vim.
In my ubuntu box, this status line (maybe it isn't technically the "vim status line", I don't know) shows by default, and is on the same line and to the right of the command-line (i.e. what shows up after typing ":").
In my OSX box, I can only get the status line to show up above the command-line via something like:
set statusline=%F%m%r%h%w\ [FORMAT=%{&ff}]\ [TYPE=%Y]\ [POS=%l,%v][%p%%]\ %{strftime(\"%d/%m/%y\ -\ %H:%M\")}
set laststatus=2
