Best for what purpose.

Bash is sufficient.

Probably /usr/bin

There you will find sh, ksh, csh, bash, and maybe a few others. One of those is bound to be the best.

Seriously though, I really like the Korn shell. Bash is also a very popular shell.

Talking

Thank you for ur replies. I am using this shell mostly for c programming. I am starting to create a code for a game but I have no compiler for it. I don't just want to download a c compiler because I might use the Unix shell's other features.

The best shell for all-round programming and support has to be .ksh

.zsh has more functionality but is not as widely used and so scripts are not as portable. .ksh is King!
