title: Combine and Redirecting stderr and stdin - Difference in Methods BASH
body: <p>What is the real difference of the <strong>new</strong> and the <strong>old</strong> methods of how we combine and redirect stderr and stdin?</p>
  
  <p>For example:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>"The Old Way": <code>2&gt;&amp;1</code></li>
  <li>"The New Way": <code>&amp;&gt;</code></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Down to the core are there any differences in these implementations?
  Are their any advantages to either?</p>
