However, this primarily applies only to Linux systems and not others. Historically, /bin/sh has referred to the Bourne shell. The shell that most Linux systems use is a play on that and is called Bourne Again shell (hence bash). Bash combines many features (although not all) of Bourne, C Shell and Korn shell into one.
