Hello yls177. All linux installs offer some form of a command line interface. In fact the easiest way to use this interface is by using the terminal emulator in the gui. However if you use ctrl-alt f3, you can switch to command line mode. If you dont want a gui interface at all, you can choose not to install one during the installation. Red Hat uses the Bash shell as default, but comes with the korn shell and several other shells that you might be more familiar with from hp-ux or ibm-aix.

CHSH(1) User Commands CHSH(1)
NAME
chsh - change your login shell
SYNOPSIS
chsh [-s shell] [-l] [-u] [-v] [username]
DESCRIPTION
chsh is used to change your login shell. If a shell is not given on the command line, chsh prompts for one.
chsh is used to change local entries only. Use ypchsh, lchsh or any other implementation for non-local entries.
OPTIONS
-s, --shell shell
Specify your login shell.
-l, --list-shells
Print the list of shells listed in /etc/shells and exit.
-u, --help
Print a usage message and exit.
-v, --version
Print version information and exit.
VALID SHELLS
chsh will accept the full pathname of any executable file on the system. However, it will issue a warning if the shell is not listed in
the /etc/shells file. On the other hand, it can also be configured such that it will only accept shells listed in this file, unless you
are root.
EXIT STATUS
Returns 0 if operation was successful, 1 if operation failed or command syntax was not valid.
SEE ALSO
login(1), passwd(5), shells(5)
AUTHOR
Salvatore Valente <svalente@mit.edu>
AVAILABILITY
The chsh command is part of the util-linux package and is available from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/.
