The idea of safe mode is to present a fairly minimal environemnt,
with few bells and whistles.

Eh?  Most of the time, people will be using the OS in multiuser
mode, and bash, tcsh, zsh, and God knows how many other shells
will be available.

You misunderstand me.  I don't think it's apporpriate to condemn
Solaris because it's not like Linux.  If you want Linux, it's
over there -->.

When using a new system, one has to get used to differences.  If
this was the other way round, what would you say to me if I complained
that sh on Linux was broken because it didn't have true Bourne SHell
behaviour like it does on Solaris?  You'd probably say "Linux is not
Solaris".
