Which Linux distros with more than 5 downloads DON'T have bash as the login shell?
- AlecSchueler 16y agozsh is the login shell on PureDyne as far as I remember. It does have bash installed by default though.
- silentbicycle 16y agohttp://openwrt.org/ http://openwrt.org/ , and embedded stuff in general, because bash is incredibly bloated.
- Mod_daniel 16y agoPlease, correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't OpenWrt run on on busybox? Which is pretty much just a stripped down conglomerated bash?
- silentbicycle 16y agobash refers to a specific shell implementation, not the whole userland utilities (AKA the "coreutils"). BusyBox combines a bunch of Linux userland utilities into one executable, to save overhead on embedded systems. It uses ash, not bash.
- bch 16y agoOf course BSD isn't Linux, but NetBSD, FreeBSD, and surely (I'm guessing) OpenBSD don't have Bash installed by default. I'd bet Dragonfly is same.
