It is improper to ASSUME that just because BASH is the default on Linux, it should be the default on Solaris and OpenSolaris. Why should Solaris and OpenSolaris suddenly start to cater to the Linux crowd? Besides, bash is one of the absolute WORST ever shells. There are far better shells, namely (pd)ksh, (t)csh, zsh and so on. Consider this quite rudimentary example: bash: ls -l /tmp/ &; sleep 10 bash: syntax error near unexpected token `;' tcsh: ls -l /tmp/ &; sleep 2 [1] 12745 total 416 [output omitted for brevity] [1] Done ls -l /tmp/ > opensolaris better learn from linux(or any OS for > that matter) if it is to be adopted widely. the > arrogance you show has brought many a down. There is nothing Solaris or OpenSolaris can learn from Linux. Linux is one of the worst pieces of SW in history of Informatics. However, Linux would do far better if it only learned from corporate UNIXes like Solaris, IRIX and HP-UX, instead of just trying to imitate their look-and-feel, and failing at that miserably as well. As a former Linux system engineer, I have nothing good to say for technical merits of Linux.
