Well most shells have become unpopular with the coming of Linux.

Because there are two types of shells actually more but the most common is a Pre-validated shell. These shell account really suck. Most of the time you have to pay some type of fee to get a real shell. But it's to provide a benifit for the people who set up servers as a shell account it also blocks spammers, as well as hackers and alot of others. I used to use the Compaq test drive accounts, you forge some stupid survey and you have acces to 45 different boxes of you choice. They have freebsd, R.H.L., Suse, Openbsd, alot more I just don't remeber off the top of my head. They have a link at http:\\www.happyhacker.org you want to go to links, and then free shell accounts, they have a whole list of places to go to get a shell account.

A lot of commands have been blocks as cracker/hackers were making bots and other illegal activities were being run on these
boxes so certain commands are now blocked.

If you can afford it, by a couple of really really cheap boxes and put a few different Unix flavors on them.

recommend: FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, & Solaris 7.

That will not only give you the most common Unix flavors on today's servers but you will be able to see their intricate details like the difference between how `ps' acts on each.

For shells, you will get: ksh, csh, sh, tcsh, zsh, pksh, bash and a couple more obscure ones.

I would recommend sticking to these at first.
ksh: unix standard shell ( default shell on Solaris & SunOS)
csh: standard and default shell on BSD Unix's
bash: standard and default shell on Linux

As for commands go and get O'reilly's
Unix in a Nutshell

hope that helped
