Off topic because Aaron is talking about full unix/linux distributions
and this is really free association prompted by his remark, and not
intended as a nitpicking reply.

There is in fact a class of small linux distributions, of which the best
known is probably tomsrtbt (http://www.toms.net/~toehser/rb/), that
typically lack csh and use the Bourne style ash instead.  Tomsrtbt is a
"rescue floppy" that you can boot and run linux from when you have been
trying to upgrade your system and managed to make it unbootable in the
process, or your hard disk has got corrupted in some other way.  Worth
knowing about even if you don't plan to run poplog under it.
