<div dir="ltr">okay.... king of stupid questions has a new question. When I open a terminal I always thought the shell I was running was bash. <a href="http://www.interworx.com/community/alternative-shells-for-linux/">http://www.interworx.com/community/alternative-shells-for-linux/</a> says that in reality it is Dash.
