The Bourne Again Shell (located in /bin/bash) is the default shell of the Linux operating system and is the shell that users of that system will likely be most familiar with.

One of bash's strongest features, shared with the Bourne shell, is flexible output redirection.

Note: Bash is not available by default in the base system, but can easily be installed from ports if desired.

See bash's man page for more info.

To change your shell from one to another, run the chsh command.

To change bash's look and feel, edit your shell configuration file -- .profile and/or .bashrc (may be called .bash_profile on older systems).

Other shells that you can install and customize for ease of use are the bash, tcsh, psh, ksh, zsh.

When she was offered the opportunity to do a mission trip in India if she could come up with $3,000 - she was left thinking there was no way she could go. No way to raise the funds. She asked me to brainstorm with her as to ways she could raise money. "The only thing I can do is hug," she told me - and thus her adventure began.

To address their newly-minted graduates, aspiring to dazzling careers, they picked a man who has never in his adult life, applied for a job.

Researchers from the Center of Astrobiology (Spain) and the Catholic University of the North in Chile have found it in hypersaline substrates thanks to SOLID, a detector for signs of life which could be used in environments similar to subsoil on Mars.
