Korn is a derivative of Bourne, with a lot of features borrowed from csh.
Parts of the new POSIX specs for the shell were based on it. So, if you
know bash, Korn will seem largely familiar. AIX's default shell is Korn.
pdksh is a port that runs well on Linux. I've never tried to compile the
official AT&T source.
