Hi all, I use bash instead of the default csh shell that is part of FreeBSD world. I am revising my in-house installation manual for FreeBSD 5.3, and it just came my attention that there is (actually has been I guess) bash version 3 available as a port. But FreeBSD appears to want to use 2.05b as the default. Does anybody know of any good reason why I should stick to 2.05b? I would like to use the latest stable version, but I don't want to go to version 3 if there are any issues that might bite me in the butt or if it will disrupt any other FreeBSD convention/issue that I don't know about. Looking at the the gnu bash site, I don't see any reason *not* to go to version 3, but I tend to let any FreeBSD considerations trump others when coming up with installation standards. Thanks for any info, cheers, DW
