Becoming a fan of zsh

I have been using linux for more than 5 years and changing bash wasn’t an option at any time. It wasn’t even changing the colors until I changed from Gentoo to Ubuntu.

At that time I started to learn more about the dotfiles. But becoming a fan of zsh means also changing a habbit, breaking a habbit of using the standard of a distro.

Zsh was first noticed by me since this post and I have kept using it. Even after a few weeks it was hard to go back to bash even though I haven’t been using the speacial features.Until I tried the dotfile of Philip Paeps, I strippedĀ  it down(removed one thing) and added the set title thing that can be found here to it.

My version which is mostly the same and can be found here or here.

More information on zsh can be found on wikipedia, zsh.org, ZshWiki and here.
