There are a number of shells including bash, ksh, sh, zsh and csh. They are all very similar in features, but differ in semantics and scripting languages. The most common (from my experience) is bash which is heavy in features and included with almost all distributions.

What is the main difference in between redhat Linux and fedora Linux?

The term "main difference" is vague and subject to interpretation. I'll try to list a couple of what some folks consider "notable" differences. 1) Redhat Linux is normally purchased and various levels of support are also available for purchase. Fedora Linux is free (free as in beer as the saying goes). 2) Redhat Linux contains some features/enhancements not necessarily found in Fedora Linux or CentOS Linux - mostly these features are designed for enterprise environments. Hope this helps.
