OK, thanks. First I want to understand which shell is in effect.

To confirm.
peter@joule:~$ uname -a
Linux joule 2.6.32-5-686 #1 SMP Mon Oct 3 04:15:24 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux
peter@joule:~$ ls -l `which sh`
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Sep 19 15:04 /bin/sh -> dash
> ... executed with /bin/sh which is not bash by default.
Understood; but why does the installer put these and no .dashrc?
peter@joule:~$ ls ~/.*ash*
/home/peter/.bash_history /home/peter/.bash_logout /home/peter/.bashrc
Also,
peter@joule:~$ head --lines=3 ~/.profile
# ~/.profile: executed by the command interpreter for login shells.
# This file is not read by bash(1), if ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bash_login
Superficially at least, a confusing arrangement!
