I guess I'm just overly sensitive (and maybe English is not the poster's first language), but I cringe at "the Linux shell"... I have used ksh, bash, (a little) csh, and zsh over the years, and love the architecture that makes "the shell" just another non-special binary that's not unique to the OS.

And yes, a lot of the things mentioned work in a lot of shells, but some don't, or act differently.

I would find it a little if it were called the GNU or the GNU/Linux default shell
