SIG-Linux Topic: Linux shell roundup
Presented by Sharan Kalwani
Following right on the heels of the Power Shell presentation in SIG-Computing, we will quickly make folks aware of the huge variety of shells available in the Linux/Open Source world. Shells have been around since the earliest UNIX kernel and several inspired creations since then. We will briefly shine a little light on: bash, tcsh, zsh, and fish. While it is hard to do comprehensive coverage in 40 minutes or so, we will try to answer the question – which Linux shell is the best, how many types of shells are there, etc.
Also: Questions and Answers following the presentation.
