Hello all...I am new to this Debian thing :-)  I used it in the Woody
days but moved over to the FreeBSD world for the last few years.  I
recently installed Testing (Lenny) and see the left bracket in my
/usr/bin directory and do not know what it is.  When I ls -al it I get:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 24752 2007-01-30 13:51 /usr/bin/[

This leads me to believe that it was installed with the base system or
some package because I just installed the system earlier this week.
Any help is much appreciated.  Thanks.

Weird,
Why don't you try to run it and see what it is?

P.S. Don't run it as root, just to be sure :-)
