It's better to use sh as default shell as it's included in Core installation. Bash isn't. So if there is some problem in your system and you for example reinstall it, what will happen if bash is broken, and it's your shell in passwd file ? You guessed it - root user will be inaccessible. So best practice is to leave sh as your default shell, and after login as root just start your favorite shell.

Hello.
Is there any benefit to using the default shell 'sh' versus bash? I
am used to Linux, where the shell prompt is a little more user friendly, like command completion, more descriptive prompt, using the
backspace key to backspace.
Any comments would be great.
Thanks Mike
