I sort of agree in this instance. If you are going to play with
_Linux_ and you are a newbie then bash is a good place to start. As
Godwin pointed out it is the default for most/all distros. Also,
learning a bit about bash may help Dave with his command line skills
in general.

Once hitting a wall that bash cannot handle, or simply becoming
curious about what else is available then moving up the learning curve
to python, perl, ruby or whatever may be a more natural progression.
