Switched to Bash as My Login Shell

Ubuntu Tux

I've been using tcsh for years - back to my first MacBook when it was the default for new accounts on Mac OS X. It's been a long time. But there are just too many things that are looking for bash as the shell, and I'm just tired of having to fix things, or re-do things, or just have to roll it all myself, so I switched.

This makes a lot of sense as it's the same shell I'm going to be using on Ubuntu, and all the other platforms I'll ever use. It was a pain to get going as I needed to convert my login scripts to bash, and that took a little bit of fiddling, but it's now worth it. I'm converted, and things are running smoothly again.

Great. Now I can get to running Ruby from RVM. Very important for the work I'm doing.
