Blah blah blah ... yes I know its Solaris etc. Question is, are there are specific Belenix components written in Python, as in Pardus Linux which uses Python extensively ? Or was that a call to developers to create new tools using python ? Regards Rajeev J Sebastian PS: You wrote above re the management tools; Pardus has a tool thats being developed and used at Turkey's Ministry of Defence to administrate Pardus desktops, servers and networks (its called Ahenk, developed in Python and available in the pardus svn). _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
