If you have a compiler / make / etc.,. on that box
you can download
source, compile and install them under, say, ~/bin/
Atleast thats how
I got screen, emacs, etc.,. on one such box.
But during compilation (gcc), it is going to be a
heavy load on the server (
http://cs.annauniv.edu).
Maybe I should try running that in low priority. I
hope running 'make' under low priority also run gcc
under the same priority.
In slackware *tgz packages can be installed in $HOME
(or simply extract it over ~), why not apt have this
(or specific) feature?

if you use emacs, erc is a nice thing too...
good luck!
