I think it would be nice to use the same > interactive and programming shell for consistency. Most FreeBSD shell scripts seem to be written for /bin/sh. Many FreeBSD users seem to pick one of bash, ksh, or zsh for their interactive shell, and just take a bit of care when writing scripts to use syntax which is backward-compatible with /bin/sh. If you're happy with bash, there's no reason not to use with FreeBSD as well. -- -Chuck
