Right now I run Windows as my main operating system. On my old A good choice. I write Python code both at home, on a Linux box, and at work, on Windoze. I find it slightly easier to write Python on Linux only because I can interact so easily with the OS from the command line - there are more itches to scratch and Python is one of the best backscratchers. Python on Linux lets me automate huge swathes of my life with ease. That said, there is a heck of a lot I can easily do on Windoze too. The real selling point for me is that I can work on code for work at home, on a completely different platform, and then take it to work and I know it'll Just Work(TM). As a Linux zealot, I'd say use Linux :-) As a pragmatist, use what you find more comfortable, and enjoy yourself. -- yours, William woolgathering.cx -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
