Yes, the newer versions of reset are much better. They reset your screen,
give characters used for escaping and stuff, and are generally more sexier
than that simple shell script.

Nearly any distribution should have a farily recent ncurses installed.

 Some people have told me they don't think a fat penguin really embodies
