Hi, Will it be different? Of course. Just think of all the apps on a typical Linux /usr/bin/. Is that sufficiently different from Power Shell? I think so. Let alone whatever else one might install, e.g. mplayer, irssi, gdb, etc., etc. If all you need is what you describe, I expect you don't care, though. That's OK. Others will certainly want the additional tooling, let alone bash scripting.
