As for speed there is a big difference between ttys and shell size which is why debian has dash. Whilst I say a big difference in that relation I agree it saves little in most desktop cases and can cause issues having dash. Greater bug awareness in bash or bourne/korn shell is another point. -- _______________________________________________________________________ 'Write programs that do one thing and do it well.
