wonderpun · 11-03-2002, 11:33 AM

Go bash!

What is the point of using different shells? Do they not all do the same thing? Ok better question...

Where can I see a good comparison on differences in shells, and maybe a sort of How-To?

Thanks

I mostly use bash, but I like ash, too. It's really small and I put it on all my bootdisks.

Well, I am addicted to zsh, I started to use it a couple of month ago, and now I don't see any other shells but zsh. With the help from Linux Magazine and a couple of other pointers I slowly and surely have migrated to zsh.

Every time I install a BSD I have to spend half an hour fumbling around in csh before I figure out how to install bash again. Blech, evil csh!!!

Cheers,

untill now I've used bash and csh the most, and well, I just prefer csh.

I actually prefer csh but for whatever reason seem to use bash most of the time. <Holding head down in shame>

I use sh in command line mostly because I don't want to forget it, as I have other machine as remote database (connected via lan) that uses mini FreeBSD 3.2.

And I somewhat like the primitive appearance of sh.
But if I'm FORCED to runlevel 3, then I switch to bash, the Beginners Aberrant SHell.

zsh?
