<doctor who> It's the fish. They like the singing. </doctor who> – Tom O'Connor Dec 25 '10 at 20:21
This is highly opinionated, and really isn't ServerFault material. Use "the Google" for things like this. – Andrew M. Dec 25 '10 at 21:14

The food at this xmas party is pretty lame. I could really go for some shellfish instead... Oh? What's that? Fish shell? Come on now, /usr/bin/fish? A shell that purports to be friendly and interactive? You must be kidding. – jscott Dec 25 '10 at 21:47
Sorry guys, as a linux newbie, i tried to check the fishshell.org site to get more information, after i read here that it would be more userfriendly. my intend was to get more info on what features it provide since the information i found via google was not very helpful. anyway now i test it on my own :) – NES Dec 25 '10 at 22:09
When a bare Google search fails, usually a second good place to check is Wikipedia. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friendly_interactive_shell – Zoredache Dec 27 '10 at 22:33

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, see the FAQ.

What are you looking for that the FAQ, documentation, or the person who said "fish shell is awesome" hasn't told you?

(In other words, this is a question you should research yourself to see if it meets your needs...)
