How about best CLI? Bash vs. Sh vs. CMD etc...		2009-03-0912:08 PM

What are some of the differences between Bash and regular Sh? I'm sure Bash is much easier.		2009-03-092:41 PM

Hmm, well I've only used regular sh briefly and I don't really write shell scripts, so for normal use the only difference I noticed was that the prompt was just something like ~$: rather than one that showed the directory. I think that Bash also has more scripting features.		2009-03-092:46 PM

I thought Bash and Sh are fairly similar. I mean besides the command prompt cursor they look very similar. I think Bash can be run in a GUI and Sh is mainly for CLI without a GUI.		2009-03-093:24 PM

Actually they both can be run in a GUI or without a GUI, because linux shells use the standard input and standard output stream. When you run BASH in X, it gets run in a terminal emulator which pipes its input through to the shell and displays the output as a character-cell terminal or TTY would. That is why old UNIX apps that were designed for teletypes can still be run in X. I would say though that Sh was pretty early on and probably designed for a TTY (hence the shorter prompts and generally short commands), while the Bourne Shell (ancestor of Bash) was probably written for a terminal and so was a bit more verbose.		2009-03-093:35 PM
