The coreutils that are currently included with WebOS are.. weird. Busybox is okay for most things, but env seems to look for a busybox util before in $PATH (???), and ash is.. not really that good (no .ashrc support afaik, no additional bash features, etc), as well as there only being vi (not even vim!).

I think it would be neat to have a package that either bind-mounts a set of sane coreutils (bash/zsh, gnu/uutils coreutils, nano/vim) to /usr/bin over busybox hardlinks, or put them in a known path and bindmounting over /etc/profile to set the $PATH to use those files before the ones in /usr/bin.

Or even more simple. Add override to ~/.profile because you don't have/shouldn't change coreutils for system usage, and changing for SSH is enough.
