Agreed.  I've had Linux inflicted on me, recently, and it's really
annoying all the things I have to do just to get it back to even
moderately sane behaviour.  ("export LANG=C" and "unalias -a" are the
ones I recall most strongly, but there are other irritants, such as
/sbin and /usr/sbin not being in the path even after su, and ^P working
for me on the command line only sometimes.)
