Aye... thats pretty handy too...

Nope.... it auto completes files and directories that don't exist
on the local machine, but do exist on the remote machine.

Presume you can just grab "http://www.caliban.org/files/bash/bash-completion-20040711.tar.gz"
extract and source the bash_completion file... not sure if the contrib is
important...  Other option is to just use debian sarge and source
/etc/bash_completion
