Ubuntu and its variants (specially the Kubuntu which is very similar to Windows). SUSE is a good distro too.
What are we going to get in return for doing your homework? Can you come round and do a car wash? Take the dog for a walk? mend the fence?
It’s nice to see someone still doing homework. 8)

@other helpful people
guy i have a RED HAT version it’s quite old is it any good???
Only kidding. 
The only tricky part of installation is resizing the Windows partition to make room for Linux- assuming you want to keep Windows. If you have any bad sectors on your disk, Linux is a bit fussy about doing this automatically, and you have to force it.
It’s more important to check which distro works best with you hardware: the first one I tried didn’t work with my sound card at all.
Googling for ‘Implement a Linux shell for a set of commands’ produces some tutorials, ‘how to’ and examples:

And even the requested e-book:

There should be enough there to enable you to complete the project. If yoiu have any problems with the installation, let us know.
@frank
thank u helpful buddy :-*
sorry i was a bit rude…
No worries.
It’s a solid, traditional one.
It’s being updated frequently, so it’s not old in this meaning… Try to update or download the last installation package of Red Hat.
Well, the last freely available Red Hat (9) is quite old. Newer variants (Red Hat Enteprise Linux) and their updates are paid…
