I'm typing this up from my primary Linux system. Beside me, my laptop also runs Linux. I use these computers for basically everything - coding, testing, work, gaming, the lot. Just finished playing an episode of The Walking Dead, streamed to Twitch.tv; yes, that game wasn't released for Linux, but thanks to Wine, I can run the Windows version, and it's flawless. It's the year of the Linux desktop alright. Has been for some time, gonna still be for a while yet. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
