[Tfug] bash dl script

[James Hood]

I've found very few differences between writing bash and ksh scripts so
learning bash will basically make you a ksh scripter as well. Now from an
interactive shell standpoint, I much prefer bash over ksh (command tab
completion, etc).

Have others found this to be the case? What would make someone prefer ksh
over bash? Not trying to start a flame war, just curious.
