http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_(computing) "A shell is a piece of software that provides an interface for users of an operating system which provides access to the services of a kernel." We can call it a shell, a command line window manager, or George. What is being proposed is that it become the default user interface for the CLI of Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-server mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
