To clarify, FreeBSD defaults to Bourne shell for regular users and csh for root (which has auto-competion). To change your shell, you would simply run chpass and change shell to /usr/local/bin/bash or whatever suits your mood. (Does Linux have a way for non-root users to change their default shell? I think not.)
