Which Linux distros with more than 5 downloads DON'T have bash as the login shell?

http://openwrt.org/ , and embedded stuff in general, because bash is incredibly bloated.

Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't OpenWrt run on on busybox? Which is pretty much just a stripped down conglomerated bash?

bash refers to a specific shell implementation, not the whole userland utilities (AKA the "coreutils").

BusyBox combines a bunch of Linux userland utilities into one executable, to save overhead on embedded systems. It uses ash, not bash.

Of course BSD isn't Linux, but NetBSD, FreeBSD, and surely (I'm guessing) OpenBSD don't have Bash installed by default. I'd bet Dragonfly is same.

zsh is the login shell on PureDyne as far as I remember. It does have bash installed by default though.
