"works out to the box" BASH seems to work and come pre-installed on most systems. Not in (some?) debian, but ash or whatever debian defaults to doesn't cater to my muscle memory.
Debian defaults user shells to bash. It also defaults /bin/sh to dash since it is posix compliant and leaner than bash and if a shell script says /bin/sh it should not get bash features. -- Len Sorensen
