Little differences do exist in the basic system of most UNIX installations. You can always install extra packages and tweak the setup of it all, to bring it all where you feel more comfortable. The specific auto-completion trouble results from the default shell you are using, which is most likely /bin/sh for everyone but root. It's easy to install a package of zsh or bash, if you like Bourne shells better, or switch to tcsh from the base system. Giorgos.
