I only reply because noone has yet listed my favourite shell :). This is getting into the "emacs vs. vi" type category though, the choice is really based on personal preference. > a normal user account? tcsh. A wonderful shell if you like the csh way of doing things over sh. > root? csh, although I usually type tcsh to get it if I'm in multi-user mode. > I use bash for my users, and csh for my root. I've heard many knocks > against bash though...what do you think? I use bash on the Winboxes at work from the cygwin package. Its not bad, I just find a couple of things lacking from tcsh (or maybe its just that I can't find how to do them in bash). -- Greg Lewis glewis@trc.adelaide.edu.au Computing Officer +61 8 8303 3237 Teletraffic Research Centre To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
