Here's some frequently asked questions about the Nekoware package suite, such as recommendations for various applications. This guide is '''2025-Q4''' compliant.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

=== Why don't you have GNU Bash? ===
We didn't include bash or nano for this release because it would complicate build dependencies. We did not intend to inconvenience users. We recommend either neko_mksh or the native tcsh shell for users. See [[IRIX Setup 101]] for shell prompts and other hacks.

=== Where's SSH? ===
Use neko_dropbear. OpenSSH runs terribly on IRIX and no longer is within performance constraints for IRIX. We are working on a more optimized SSH client, daemon, scp and sftp setup. But this will take time.

=== How can I play music? ===
neko_moc is an excellent console music player.

=== Where's python? ===
We installed Tauthon for this release. Python 2.7 compatible security release. We will add 3.x in a later release.

=== Why so many libraries but such few graphical programs? ===
HaveBlue, this codename, is a technology demonstrator. Quick, clean, but more of a basis for the next releases. We are open for patches though.
