    Whoa, whoa whoa!  UNIX98 compliance?  IIRC UNIX98 reuiqres several things
for "compliance" which are better suited for a workstation than a server. 
BIND and X installed.  Of course, I could be wrong on that, and please feel
free to blast me if I am.  But if I'm not, I'm not too keen on being "UNIX98"
compliant.
