[Bio-linux-dev] bash compatibility

For the millionth time, Bash is fully supported in Bio-Linux, which you
know full well because you use it yourself.  But no it isn't the default
and no I'm not going to make it the default and no I'm not going to
re-write all my documentation to reference Bash.  What you choose to
teach is up to you.

The only person dictating shell compatibility here is you, by having
some nasty mis-designed software that depends on the user's selection of
login shell and then when it doesn't work you say it's the system's
fault.  It's not, and if you tried to submit the software to Debian as a
package they'd rightly tell you the package was buggy.  I will not be
adding your "fix" to Bio-Linux.  Fix your software!
