Shell recommendations

[Dak Ghatikachalam]

Thanks everyone for the great input and  Feedback,
I read some great capabilities about Zsh( completion capabilities) and pdksh

For now I have compiled and made pdksh and I will try this to see how  that
works. so far it works great did not dump the core,

Thanks
DAk
