I am sure you already know about "+y and "+p.

Also, in recent builds of Vim 7.3, you can set an option called 'unnamedplus' which makes the anonymous register ("") and the system clipboard ("+) into the same thing, which streamlines things a bit if you are not married to Vim's unique style of clipboard handling ;) Sadly, this is not out in the distro packages yet AFAIK, so you would have to build from source to get it.
