Quite often, yeah.
Until you find yourself on a customer site, installing Sun's "Netra"
software. Which, for those that don't know, is sort of an "Internet server
for idiots", and requires CDE. On an Ultra 2 with 512MB RAM for some
reason.
I have to say, I didn't know apps could do that. Can you do that on Linux ?
