sudo blocks aliases

[James Diehl]

In the synaptic pkg mgr..  It lists the items that are installed, if you click status.  The shell that Ubuntu normally uses is small, like 0.50.11 or something like that.  They also list a Bourne Again, Korn and Dash, Bash, something like that too.  The Bourne Again is like 3.05, the Korn is 5. something, and the other is like  6-7.  In the description tab, it says that the Bash is what most users prefer to use, but the Bourne Again is from Berkely I think, and is a kind of happy medium.  Ubuntu says the small one that they use is less prone for breakage when loading a new kernel, patching, or updating.  It doesn't give you much room for expansion though!
