As I do every now and then, I decided to experiment with something new. Just to dislodge old habits. So, I decided to switch my default shell to zsh and see how it goes. On the very first day, I ran into an issue when using wildcards with the command scp. That was easy to fix. Then, I also had to configure cdpath. Alltogether, it was quite easy and, so far, I'm liking it quite a bit. I may even stick to it after a test period. The zsh has plenty of nice features that make the shell more useful than old bash. Said that, I think I will stick to bash for scripting. It's more standard. {link to this entry}
