I am a relatively new to unix, so I have not formed irreversible opinions
about which shell is best.  I started out on linux before switching to
freebsd, so I became accustomed to bash.  With regard to posix compliance
and compatibility with commercial unix systems (sun, hp, sgi), which shell
would be the most appropriate to standardize on?
