"pkg install tcsh" didn't take long.  For an experimental distribution 
in a sea of Linux I think it does pretty well.  If we keep it like this 
when we get around to shipping Solaris Next, it would be a different 
issue.  But changing the default PATH is an easy fix.

Indiana has become the main OS on my laptop, and I've used it to do 
customer presentations.  Wobbly Windows and OOo make for a nice 
introduction ;O)
