[QUOTE="scathe, post: 1419448, member: 81672"] From what I can tell the OSX-delivered bash is the same as on Linux. If you follow bash tutorials that were meant for various linux distributions, it will work as far as scripting or file management is concerned :-) But it can get a bit confusing from the beginning to get your head wrapped around the different shells, as recommended above, stick with bash - it's something like a standard or a default shell on most systems. Just skip any tutorials and examples concerned with configuring the system for now (I mean stuff like setting the network, displays, devices ...) [/QUOTE]
