I should use bash on Linux, but I got so used to up-arrow history
search and ls without colour, that I just always put off the pain
of configuring bash to be similar. The set/export differences catch
me out sometimes though. I should do it soon (and I just found colour
ls is just an alias anyway).

Thanks for that Len. I'll leave the mode, but watch for updates.
Must admit I was surprised to see adverts in the
Software Centre
of US 13.04, but apart from that I'm delighted with it so far.
Everything is so much snappier than with the Kubuntu 12.04 I used
before. Even things like fetching mail is noticeably faster!
Software Centre opens if I click a .deb Maybe I'll just uninstall
it if I'm allowed. :)
Don't know how long it would last, but you can also remove the mime line
from /usr/share/applications/ubuntu-software-center.desktop. I don't know
if setting the file mode to 444 would keep a SW update from overwriting it
or if that would hang the update. Ypu can also choose another application
by right clicking on the deb and then make that app the default. OT: How do you
like FreeBSD's tcsh shell and configuration?
One of the first things I do on any new Linux install is install
tcsh and get it working with 'history search' on up/down arrow
keys like fbsd, and then get my prompt looking right.
Soon feels like home...
I do bash. Don't know or care if it's best, just what I am used to.
