Probably all the main desktop distros come with _some_ Python (but not necessarily a recent one... RHEL with 2.4?!). I used "many" rather than "all" in case there's one somewhere that doesn't, but even then, Python will be an easily-added feature. ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
