Fine. I just added this (otherwise your bash would have crashed).
> Why do people keep calling this openSuSE? It was in the title, and now I
see it in Leif's comments. According to the openSUSE web page, it is
openSUSE.
Oh, I noticed that. It's because openSUSE started as SuSE Linux, a
distribution created by the S.u.S.E. GmbH (the "u" meaning "&", German
"und", since the "S"s stand for the given names of the founders of the
company, which happened to be siblings).

W.r.t. {{{ln -a}}} and {{{-n}}}:
I really wonder if we should make GNU coreutils (and perhaps some more)
prerequisites for Sage (or even ship coreutils as an spkg), since there
seems to be not much progress with POSIX commands.
Or build at least some of our own commands (as part of the scripts spkg).
{{{sed -i}}} is also quite useful, though one can relatively easily work
around that, in contrast to other not-yet-POSIX features of some other
commands.
