Hmm I havn't noticed many problems but...
I havn't owned SUNs long (just a couple of months ago I bought my
first IPC) and with a move and so much going on in um...what do they call this
stuff you do every day...real life?
anyway I dunno what ya call the stuff you do when not playing with a sparc
(I dunno I detest the stuff...hmm new bumper sticker for my car...
"Id rather be playing with Sparcy" )

hmm weird...you could be right...
I guess you could at the silo prompt boot "linux /bin/sh" and forget
everything just boot right into bash...
if it does it there it is either a bash problem or a kernel problem ;)
(hmm or a libc problem...or...)
Im glad to see interest...
You don't need anyone to sign your PGP key per se to become a developer.
Hell...my pgp key has been around since 6/96 and noone has ever signed it
(I hope to rectify this soon but...)
All you need to do is this:
Gather all of your info (as per web page) into an e-mail...adress...phone..
name etc.
Sign it with your pgp key. send it.
Then comes proving who you are...you can...
scan a picture of some offical Document and pgp sign/mail it...
or do what I did...wait for the snail-mail adress and snail-mail
a photocopy of your Drivers Lincense (just don't FUBAR the snail-mail
adress like I did the first try)
