If you change the symlink onThe immediate problem to change the symlink to bash instead of dash is that it will slow down his system boot sequence, ...I sometimes hear this but I disagree that boot speed causes this to be an immediate problem. Even on laptops the system is very stable. Howoften do people reboot? I do so only very seldom. Definitely for kernel security upgrades and so do reboot a handful of times a year. My view is, "So it might take another few seconds ever other month."
That's your use.My uses are plenty of shutdown. For my eeepc, it is possible that I shut it down from 1 to 4 times per day, and for my desktop, it entirely depends on what I am doing. And that is because they are not old computers. I have a dinosaur which takes ages, hibernate or not, and seeing how the hardware is old, I prefer the regular checks made on disk by boot process. I do not need computer as fast as light, but I'm pleased hen things does not takes ages while keeping some security checks.
That's because I kept the use of shutdown instead of hibernate, except if I have something I want to keep alive from a session to another.
But, of course, if boot speed is not an issue for you, you are free to make it slower :) Every user have his own requirement for a computer, especially for people using a linux distribution I think.
