This is good stuff!! I had absolutely *no* knowledge that these
existed
Reading 'em now, with great interest - thanks much Mr. Barten

Ummm Daniela,  Perhaps you are referring to:

http://www.dotfiles.com/index.php3?cat_id=6

Which was an excellent suggestion BTW!

Please excuse me, my exoskeleton requires steam cleaning, so I must
leave.

Nice! Good decision I think.

No, there isn't, that's almost certain. There's (normally) no call to do
that. If folks do change shells it's pretty rare I'd say,  unless they
(for example) change jobs and a new shell is forced on 'em and no
alternatives are available which would also be somewhat unusual and not
too sensible for an employer to do. I know that - under normal
circumstances - there's no way I'd change my shell, except at the point
of a gun. I know mine and don't have any in depth knowledge of others.
If I was forced into a change I'd google my face off for a week or two
and chsh on my home machine to get a feel for what differences I would
expect to experience.

Just google "sample .bashrc" that should yield something you can begin
with. The two aren't *that* different y'know, so don't get stressed
about it.

As said above, Google is most assuredly your best friend in this
instance.

+> Many thanks

You're welcome though I wish I could have been of more actual help. Good
luck with your FreeBSD adventure. It sure is worth the time and effort
necessary to get things to the way you like 'em.
