I, too, am having an internal debate over whether to go with ksh or
bash. I have used ksh since my AT&T days (even as a beta tester for
ksh), but would rather not introduce another unix-on-dos platform to
the cygwin tools already installed. As much as I love the Korn shell,
I detest system administration. But, even with casual usage, I've
noticed that they're different.
Does anyone have a pointer to a ksh-bash comparison, or a "bash for
ksh users" tutorial?
Thanks,
Michael
