- Dell includes Merge. And two versions of gcc. And net stuff you would
- need, like Perl, pbm, ect. And both Motif and openlook. I could go on,

- dumped some hacker's personal machine with all the toys. Then I found
- out I didn't have to do all the ports, the stuff was there.
-
- I have upgraded some things, but in general the Dell is compete and
- probably includes more than most people will want to keep on their
- disks.
