Need to know the shells associated with both Red Hat and SuSE.

Hmm, I'm not sure what exactly you're asking... as far as I know Red Hat uses the standard linux shells (bash2, bash, tcsh, csh, sh, and so forth... but I assume you must already know this) SuSE I know nothng about.

What you wrote, Valk, tells a lot and yet not enough. I need to be more specific. Different UNIX flavors use different shells, some inappropriate to specific UNICES. Linux is a "specialized" version of UNIX therefore what it uses is a mystery to me. I'm looking for words like C Shell, Bourne Shell, Korn Shell, etc. Each shell is a unique programming experience therefore it makes a big, big difference when it comes to shell scripting because each shell is different.
I'm beginning into what could possibly be an extensive journey into the unfamiliar territory of Solaris, hence my interest in turning one of these PCs here into UNIX box fairly soon in order to refamiliarize myself with UNIX tools that will have a 10 to 20-year thick rust crust flaked off.

Oh, I see. Well yes, the things I listed are the C Shell (csh) Turbo C Shell (tcsh) Bourne Shell (bsh) Bourne Again Shell (bash), etc... I'm fairly certain the Korn shell is used as well, though I have never used it so I'm not entirely positive.
Why do you need such specifics on the various shells? Are you trying to choose one to write your shell scripts in? There's lots of info about linux at [url=http://www.linux.org,]www.linux.org,[/url] but I imagine you've found that already. I've run linux on and off at home, and it's very easy to set up, and it's fairly well documented. So if you just throw a redhat install onto some machine, you should be able to find out what you need from within linux quite soon. (tcsh is the default shell I believe)

Hi Valk.
Their websites are primarily into the appetite-whetting aspect for users rather than the hard and dried technical end of things.
I recognized csh and bash as the fog over marblehead slowly lifts.
To do any kind of development in UNIX, shell scripting is an absolute necessity, hence my interest. To write in a script not of what I am entertaining professionally would be a total waste of time. I need to do my homework well before I engage in what will be a considerable investment utilizing that valuable resource.
