Okay, I have to take the opportunity here to mention two lesser known
shells that happen to be my favorites, rc - a UNIX port of the Plan9
command interpeter, and GNU Es, which is based on rc but adds a number
of enhancements.
Both are quite small and fast without sacrificing power or
flexibility, both have a nicely clean, easy to understand syntax
including a single quoting rule, and AFAIK Debian is the only
distributor to package either of them with the distribution. Thanks
much, foax.. :)
Anyhow. *ahem* I'll get offa my advocacy soapbox now. :)
