Change the shell in Ubuntu Linux 8.04 (Hardy) is very easy.

Let's say you want to change from the default shell (dash) to bash. In the default installation /bin/sh is a symlink to /bin/dash. To change it simply execute the following command in a terminal (CLI);

ln -sf /bin/bash /bin/sh

If you want to change it back to dash, simply enter;

ln -sf /bin/dash /bin/sh

That's it...down 'n' dirty.
