I'm utterly puzzled by your posts, James. Not even sure what the heck you
are talking about.

The standard shell in Ubuntu is BASH

peter at prospero:~ $ echo $SHELL
/bin/bash

It doesn't lack anything. As far as I know it's a complete and functional
"Bourne Again Shell".  "sh" is also symlinked to bash:

peter at prospero:~ $ ls -l `which sh`
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 4 2005-10-22 14:50 /bin/sh -> bash

I have no idea what on earth this is about - if someone understands it, do
please enlighten me...
