Traditionally root users use csh/tcsh, but that didn't originate with Linux, and I don't see any real advantage to it. zsh is a nice shell, with loads of extra features, the 'kitchen sink' shell. But 99% of the shell stuff can be done with bash and there really is only a tiny bit of stuff out there that requires tcsh scripting. The other shells do have their uses, however. ash is useful on rescue diskettes where you need more room and you don't want such a big binary but you need a shell, for instance. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ David E.
