yeah...I'm getting paid for this, so I guess I'm a professional user,
and I use terminals an awful lot, but I don't use bash-completion. Every
time I ever tried it I found, like Rahul, that it makes things slow and
tends to get in my way more than it ever does help me.
Right. And thanks to this thread I just learned what "broke" bash completion for
me after fresh
install of F16: 'rpm -e bash-completion' fixed bash for me :-)
