In that case I am running BSD/Linux, since I removed bash and
replaced it with the much lighter and faster ash. :-)
Here is the buildrecepy for people who are interested how I did
that:

I did notice a lot of bashism's in various scripts, though I must
admit that I didn't find many of them in GNU software.
head /usr/bin/ldd # bug reported.
The beauty of *nix is that all parts are interchangeble and
therefor I want to encourage people to write scripts that work
with a POSIX compliant shell like ash.
Yes bash also is POSIX compliant, but it also supports a lot more,
even in sh-mode. In the long run this works like embrace and
extend.
I can't recommend end-users to replace bash with ash at the moment
since there are simply too many places where bashisms are
used. And that's not how it should be.
