Yeah, as I said, being used to slackware I just stick a setting it 
through /proc into one of my startup scripts.  Since RH has sysctl.conf 
that's probably the best way to do it.

Good point, didn't notice that :)

But think of things like "lls" or "lsl" or similar.  Through since the 
person is adding it on their own presumably they'll watch out for those 
sorts of things.  It find it better to just get used to typing ./ so 
that way you don't feel "out of place" when on other UNIXish systems. 
Obviously this is a personal preference thing though.
