My gentoo laptop allows me to begin typing a command and use pg-up/pg-dn 
to cycle through my history of commands that matches the typed pattern. 
As an example, I can type "ls" and press pg-up and if the last list 
command I did was "ls -la /etc/postfix" it will complete that for me. My 
server does not do this though, it just types a tilde. (~)

I can't remember if I altered my laptop to get that behavior or not, but 
does anyone know where I might look to turn that on?
