As Annelise Anderson wrote: > Why does FreeBSD install csh as the default shell instead of tcsh? Because there are five different shells, and six different opinions among the users about which one is the best. :-) So the only reasonable choice could be to keep the `historic' shells in the base system (where our /bin/sh is a lot better than /bin/sh's used to be historically), and leave it to the local admin to add packages as (s)he likes. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
