:)

On red hat distros /bin/sh is a symlink to your current shell. So if you are running bash /bin/sh is linked to /bin/bash. Try creating that link to /bin/bash as I believe debian will use the dash shell by default.

still at lost
 

thanx for ur rep!! im a newbie on linux ubuntu...seriously, how to create that symlink? :(

by default you are logged in /bin/bash so you can change the shell to /bin/sh

from the shell
to check the current shell

now to change the shell
if you want the shell to be sh everytime you login then
