Turns out that is not the case. When I tried installing stuff like that, 
I was prevented from doing it. A request to tech support resulted in me 
being told that I can't do all that on a *shared* server. Of course, it 
turns out that memcached isn't available, either.

Final solution - I'm scrapping the Joyent account and getting a 
dedicated server where I can do what I need.

Oh, and Eric:

Got that already. Did you miss my request for better suggestions? Do you 
*have* any better suggestions?
