If you're convinced you won't be running Windows, why deal with the problem so late in the game? Instead, order a system from a vendor who won't ship an operating system you aren't going to use. Otherwise, we'll just keep hearing from vendors about there being no demand for anything other than Windows, and thus supposedly no reason to offer any real choice of operating systems. Paul P.S. One good reason for using something UNIX-like is the apparently superior availability of Web and database server solutions for such platforms, and Python works rather well with many of them, of course. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
