Yes, but Debian and Ubuntu has changed their default shell to Dash (in 2006 I think), and embedded systems usually use some lightweight shell such as BusyBox. So far from all systems do.
- TeMPOraL 12y agoThanks for clarification!
- stephenr 12y agoJust to clarify a little: By default Debian still uses Bash for interactive user shells, but since Squeeze (early 2011), /bin/sh is provided by Dash. Dash is used because it's faster than Bash and has less dependencies so its more resilient to failures. for more info see https://wiki.debian.org/Shell https://wiki.debian.org/Shell, https://wiki.debian.org/DashAsBinSh https://wiki.debian.org/DashAsBinSh and https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/dash https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/dash
