Description:

Bash is a GNU project sh-compatible shell or command language
interpreter. Bash (Bourne Again shell) incorporates useful features
from the Korn shell (ksh) and the C shell (csh). Most sh scripts can
be run by bash without modification. Bash offers several improvements
over sh, including command line editing, unlimited size command
history, job control, shell functions and aliases, indexed arrays of
unlimited size and integer arithmetic in any base from two to 64. Bash
is ultimately intended to conform to the IEEE POSIX P1003.2/ISO 9945.2
Shell and Tools standard. Bash is the default shell for Linux
Mandrake. You should install bash because of its popularity and power.
You'll probably end up using it. This package contains statically
linked version of bash.
