Yes.  Some of my linux systems do not, and will not, have BASH.

which is not standard - there are several different 'which' programs which 
behave differently and it is not a required package by any means.  I don't 
have it on any of my systems because I know where executables are 
(*everything* is in /bin, there is no /sbin or /usr or any of that 
nonsense ;-) )
