Changing the default (bash) shell
One way of changing the default login shell, which happens to be the bash shell is as follows. You need to be an administrative user to do it.
sudo vi /etc/paswd
Find you user name in the above file and change the bash invocation on that line to another shell type.
Note that the csh or ksh is not installed by default in Ubuntu, so if you need those shells, you have to install them from the Ubuntu repository.
sudo vi /etc/paswd
Find you user name in the above file and change the bash invocation on that line to another shell type.
Note that the csh or ksh is not installed by default in Ubuntu, so if you need those shells, you have to install them from the Ubuntu repository.
Environment variables
In Windows, environment variables, once set - either at the user level or the system level are available regardless of how many new command prompt windows are opened.
In Linux, it is a different story. If you need to have environment variables available to all your shell windows - interactive or not, you need to export them after setting them first. Without the export, the environment variable is only available for the current shell and will not be seen in another shell.
