Debian has a regualr xterm entry. You can make that the default just as
easilly. I agree though that xterm-debian is useful ONLY if all of your
work is done on Debian systems. That appears to me to be a rather arrogant
assumtpion. It was bad enough when Debian changed xterm to some new
configuration that broke solaris and you had to set it to xterm-old every
time I logged in from a Sun machine.
As for adding the xterm-debian to the Solaris machine, it is painless
really but a bitch if you don't have authorization.
