GAR was always good in this respect, especially after the early GARNOME
attempts to rat out the bashisms. Early GARNOME used to run really well on
Solaris with a minimum of hackery... Unfortunately it's a leeeetle bit more
complicated now. ;-)

I wish Solaris worked under VMWare, to tide me over until the HP/Sun boxes
come!
