Yup. Thanks to the wonders of X, I can run GUI apps on servers and have them display on my desktop. Or my OS X laptop. I normally leave a gkrellm running on most of my servers. Of course, the problem under discussion isn't restricted to GUI apps. Anytime I use a third party library, I have to deal with how end users are going to get it. > Regardless, when you say "Unix", what do you mean?

I think the post I replied to covered the OS X case - there's an application bundler available for it already. I want distributions that will work on all three major BSD variants and most Linux distrubtions - in particular, anything that uses deb's, rpm's or emerge. If you want to choose one in particular, try ubuntu Linux. <mike -- Mike Meyer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
