Why can't solaris be more like linux...

[Mitch Anderson]

I've been given access to a bunch of solaris 8 boxen here at work
lately, and i'm finding it difficult to move around in it because of
shell differences... i guess i've always taken the default setups of any
linux distro i've ever tried for granted.  On the solaris box, I've had
my shell set to BASH as that is my preference... but i still get "^?"
characters while trying to backspace in vi and from ftp... and i get "~"
when trying to "delete".  Anyone know of a quick way to get the shell
setup "correctly"?
