You might want to go back and re-read his post. He mentioned standards and to consider the options, not "use bash!". He is obviously much more familiar with bash than the other available options that should be considered, or at least feels that bash is a good shell to consider. If you re-read it you will see he mentions that those who are to make this decision should spend a LOT of time getting to know ALL of the shells out there before they make that choice. Stop trying to make this a matter of personal differences and preference. // zaz@null.net -=- This sig footer was last updated Oct 05 1998 -=- \\ | From: Nathan Grass http://home.dreamhaven.net/zaz/ | | Employer: ComSys http://www.comsysinc.com/ * Technical Consultant | \\ -=- Unless otherwise noted, expressed views are my opinions. -=- // To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
