[10:30] <teddy-dbear> Morning peoples, critters and everything else
[15:49] <pleia2> now that I get to work on all kinds of old systems, I suspect that a huge local bashrc is an artifact of the past and backwards compatibility, people expect it to be a certain way, old systems depend on local ones having certain things, and no one will fix it up (why? it's not hurting anyone, it's just messy)
[15:50] <pleia2> I applaud the efforts of /etc/skel, but it's relatively new compared to bash :)
[15:50] <waltman> I prefer zsh, but there are some things on our cluster at work that only work on bash.
[15:51] <pleia2> I ran into that a lot and gave up trying to use fancy shells like zsh
[15:51] <pleia2> was too frustrating to switch between them when I logged into a new server
[15:53] <waltman> I tend to keep one tab in bash and everything else in zsh :)
[15:53] <waltman> More annoying than that is that the default .bashrc sets the shell to vi mode instead of emacs!
[15:54] <pleia2> hah
