fish: "a friendly interactive shell"
 

"a friendly interactive shell

Fish is a shell geared towards interactive use. Its features are focused on user friendliness and discoverability. The language syntax is simple but incompatible with other shell languages. "

Packaged this one up. Dunno if it will help anyone (I certainly don't need it ;), except for my bash scripting which sucks)

You need to install bc (in red pill mode):

Before installing fish.

I was able to install without going into a reboot loop, but don't blame me if your tablet does. Install bc, links, fish and run "fish" from a terminal.

WARNING: DO NOT symlink fish to /bin/sh or you will for sure go into a reboot loop.

How is performance and are the resources Fish uses compared to Bash? Bash has tons of features but on an embedded device its a bit ehm.. pardon my French, too bloated.. :) whereas the BusyBox stuff is too archaic (your ls example is a nice one!)
