BSD, Bash and Shells?
When I use Mac OS X's Terminal the UI is some what easier than that of Linux...
I this just a shell or something because using Bash is a pain in RH's Linux 9. It's so sensitive about case etc. ???
In that way what is the shell that OS X uses as it's default
Bash is on OS X (OK Duh) and they reffer to BSD as a subsystem so isn't just some sort of API that can be incorpt.ed into Linux?

by giving a comma separated list of bug-report-email-addresses.
If you invoke bashbug by accident, just quit your editor. You will always be asked for confirmation before a bug report is sent.
