- HJ Lu has been making his port of zsh available with the GCC
- distribution for some time - look on tsx-11.mit.edu in pub/linux/GCC,
- and it should be there. Original sources can be found through
- comp.sources.{misc,unix}.

- Actually, 'ash' is no longer being made available for Linux via any of
- the distrbutions I know, since it was a little _too_ simple.
-
- Most people seem to use 'bash', the GNU Bourne-Again SHell, with Linux,
- but some wackos are using tcsh :), and the true believers are using
- 'rc', the Plan 9 shell.
-
- It's really a matter of personal preference. Your question is right
- up there with asking what the recommended editor is....
