/bin/sh is supposed to be a sym link to /bin/dash, and /bin/bash is not
supposed to be a link but the actual bash binary. I don't see the
problem here.

I have no idea what you mean by this? The version of bash that supports
arrays has been in Ubuntu for a while now (years I think). Either you
were reading a really old post or the posts you were reading were
written by people who had no idea what they were talking about.

Same version I have in Ubuntu 8.04 and 64Studio, no surprise here.

Bash is not strictly POSIX. It supports many things not defined in the
POSIX. Think of POSIX as a lowest common denominator.

It forces you to use dash, which is not as feature rich as bash.
Seriously, read the Bash beginners guide. Learn to walk before you try
running.

See arrays work just fine in 64Studio.
