dereckson added a subscriber: dereckson.

Plan is to offer a GNU+BSD environment with bash, a BSD+GNU environment with tcsh.

Ask at account creation what shell to set. Set bash or tcsh as default when we forgot to customize it.

Bash defaults

EDITOR=nano

@amj offers Vim as alternative

CSH defaults

EDITOR=nano

@dereckson suggests to consider ee to split between GNU and BSD environments

Both

PAGER=less
LESS=eiMqXR

We can specify the default shell in user accounts configuration.

Shells - bash, zsh, tcsh - are installed on all Linux and FreeBSD servers.

Others are a dotfile configuration personal to each user (see D827 for a test, D974 for a correct full map).
