Shells

No, I'm not talking about seashells. I'm talking about Unix shells. You know, tcsh, bash, csh, ksh, sh, etc. Maybe you change shells regularly, or maybe you just stick to one shell. I personally like the bash shell, or the GNU Born Again shell. I use bash 3.1. Shells differ in syntax, in style, in purpose, and in quality (of course). What shell(s) do you like? What shell(s) do you like to hate?

Command of the week: grep

I have decided to post a short article each week on a particular Unix command. This will be helpful to you readers out there, as you may review on your Unix scripting and shell commands (maybe for those of you users out there who stick to X and KDE for most of your work;) ), and it may also teach you new things that you didn't know about the command. It will also teach me new commands (I am not that "well versed", but I can get by pretty easily when I use the shell) and Unix techniques. Usually there will be a description of the command, but for today you can refer to my grep post.
