Red Hat is Excellent, and I do want to learn Python. I have tried different distros (distris), and Red Hat made me feel the most comfortable and gave me all the tools I need to work. -----Original Message----- From: Michael W.

Because Darxus accidentally hit a nerve with his "unless you use debian" response, and the discussion quickly degenerated into some people explaining to how apt-get works (thank for the explanation, BTW). The "nerve" (and no, it's not worth aplogizing over. I should apologize for responding snippily) is the incredulity that I tend to encounter when PLUG members discover that I use Red Hat and am happy with it and that I script in Python and have no desire whatsoever to learn Perl. I feel that I am continually expected to defend my choices. Debian isn't the only good distribution out there and Perl isn't the end all and be all of scripting languages. Michael W.
