As an ex-DOS user (arghhh!), I like bash. It's nice, fast, and works quite nicely for idiot users like me. It also has the command history function, and the "cool" complete-the-command/file/directory with a tab - kinda like 4DOS for DOS/Windows. I used sh/tcsh/ksh, and got a bit tired of it. Bash works nicely ;-) My personal opinion. --- Khetan Gajjar [ http://www.iafrica.com/~khetan] I'm a FreeBSD User! [ http://www.freebsd.org] UUNet Internet Africa [0800-030-002 & help@iafrica.com]
