living with zsh

Thanks for the comments on zsh.

I feel a little bit like Christopher Columbus, who believed that he 
discovered the "New World," which of course lots of folks already knew 
about before he discovered it, some even lived there!

I gather the Debian folks are of two minds about this. One mind says 
that apt-get ought not to run under zsh and ought to be smart enough to 
insist on bash if it needs to. But the other mind seems determined, 
saying that Debian Policy requires that /bin/sh point to a Posix 
Compliant Shell, and zsh is not Posix Compliant. 

So, I'll give them their Posix Compliant shell in /bin/sh if they 
insist, but run zsh as a login shell anyway if I want to.
