Debian usually defaults to bash for login shells but you can change this. Many folks like the features of other shells. These are used for 'interactive' shell use and for 'non-interactive' use aka programming. For doing either, you can also use scripting languages like perl, in fact some Debian packages use a combination of bash,perl or python to do various tasks. cheers, Kev -- | .''`. == Debian GNU/Linux == | my web site: | | : :' : The Universal | debian.home.pipeline.com | | `. `' Operating System | go to counter.li.org and | | `- http://www.debian.org/ | be counted! #238656 | | my keysever: pgp.mit.edu | my NPO: cfsg.org |
