You mean, this desktop "dumb mode" thing that makes my hard drive led
crazy-blink and makes me hit (first) my desk and (then) ^C before
anything is displayed ?

my FreeBSD desktop :
% time dsfsd
dsfsd: Commande introuvable.
0.000u 0.002s 0:00.00 0.0%      0+0k 0+0io 0pf+0w

an Ubuntu "server" :
# time fsqfqsdfs
fsqfqsdfs: command not found

real    0m0.408s
user    0m0.120s
sys     0m0.040s

and that's a *fast* one !
