An obvious first step was to switch my shell to bash. Anyone care to share other tips? Thanks.Well, my first instinct was to tell you to install Linux on that SPARC hardware (no bias there, *whistle*), but it doesn't sound like that is an option. Not having root makes it more complicated, and really prevents the addition of much outside of your own user space, but you can likely build a lot of OSS applications in your home directory if you're careful. ~spot --- Tom "spot" Callaway <tcallawa(a)redhat*com> (SAIR LCA, RHCE) GPG: D786 8B22 D9DB 1F8B 4AB7 448E 3C5E 99AD 9305 4260 Red Hat Sales Engineer :: http://www.redhat.com Aurora SPARC Linux Project Leader :: http://www.auroralinux.org The words and opinions reflected in this message do not necessarily reflect those of my employer, Red Hat, or my project, Aurora SPARC Linux and belong solely to me.
