Sep 3, 2011 at 16:32 comment added Daniel Beck Mod @Sathya This is all bash (version 3.2) behavior, although I imagine some of this also available in other shells. $( ) is from csh I believe. Since I only use bash on Linux and OS X, I don't know for sure. The only thing OS X in this post is my home directory path (/Users/username), the screen shot of Terminal.app and possibly the default prompt I show at the beginning. That's why I could quote from a Linux-related question regarding history command, and mention Linux (and Cygwin) in the introduction. I also use the prompt I show at the end on multiple Linuxes, slightly modified.
Sep 3, 2011 at 16:22 comment added Sathyajith Bhat Mod @DanielBeck are any of these specific to OS X? Or Just Bash?

Sep 2, 2011 at 17:25 comment added Tamara Wijsman I don't see anything really wrong; as for formatting, I think that you could do a small improvement by putting enumerations (in the first part, where you explain PS1, CWD, ...) and instructions (very last paragraph) into lists.
