>devpts has to do with the Unix98 PTY slaves.
not to sound ungrateful, but, what's a Unix98 PTY slave? I vaguely
know what a ptty is (when you open an xterm or the like, the system thinks
of it as a pseudo-terminal); but what does the UNIX98 spec do to change this?
mostly what I want to know is if I need this on my workstation at home.
