Not sure I understood the question correctly, but I'll try to answer
anyway...shells are the same across distros, they are generally compiled
from the same sources. Most common commands such as ls are supported,
however stuff like adduser is implemented differently in each distribution
(and I have to say I really dislike Redhat's way). To see if there is such
a command just try to run it, or try which <command>.
