Hey I got a great idea:

Why not allow someone to install zsh after the initial installation ?

That way the (proper) and "industry-wide" standard of bash shell can be
kept, with no problems related to having an "odd" non-standard shell
installed.

And those that want zsh can install this themselves.

I know this is a radical thought, but just maybe it might work.


(Now I will remove my tongue from my cheek, so to speak, and ignore the
rest of this thread.)

Not so anonymous
