Just install or update their configuration with a simple

wget -O .zshrc http://git.grml.org/f/grml-etc-core/etc/zsh/zshrc

in your home directory and you can instantly enjoy loads of thoughtfull featues that you don't have to customize yourself.

For example in svn/hg/git/bzr projects the prompt shows the revision / branch you are on or if your workspace has conflicts.

Very, very handy.

I'd just recommend that you act more careful when working in the shell, because it's much easier to bash everything.</p> Although I am using the shell almost always, the book is a benefit to me.

There's some great thinking behind this, and it's the first and only shell I've really learned. It's syntax makes a lot more sense, and it's actively supported so that helps a lot finding who else has run into problems.

Also I like the powerful completion. Other than that, I have a config that makes zsh look and behave mostly as bash.</p> I'm using zsh daily because it can merge histories from multiple session.

The book is (mostly) applicable to both bash and zsh. I think the last two chapters are about writing your own completion, and zsh really takes over there. But you should take a look at zsh anyway. I don't know what I'd do without recursive globbing these days. And the completion completely rocks.</p> <p>Aside from that, the book is well written and a good way to get to know your shell better.</p> Allan is right.

Aside from that, the book is well written and a good way to get to know your shell better.
