tcsh to bash

[jadelennox]

I've been a tcsh user now for... well, for a very long time, and a csh user before that. Understandably, that means that I'm at least a low-level tcsh power user. However, because I do anything that requires a complex control flow in bash, I've been thinking about switching to bash for my everyday commandline needs.

But it's scary, because I don't want to switch out of a shell where I am a power user. Does anybody have any links to good resources for switching from tcsh to bash? Handholding, tips, or the like?

I am unsure if this is helpful, but it may be: http://okiebuntu.homelinux.com/okwiki/clicompanion

Supposedly helps both new and power users get comfortable with the command line?

Thanks!

That's a great application, as I'm not great at finding my way around the comand line yet; unfortunately it won't fit on the screen of my ickle EeePC just yet, although it has been flagged as a High Importance bug. Fingers crossed, there will be a fix for it soon. :)
