FWIW linux does, but firefox and chrome don't. I've found that they work very poorly on older machines with little memory. I also second anyone that suggests Linux is good for learning Python. I found it a very conducive platform to learn Python on when I first learned, even as a new linux user -- it makes it really easy to get everything you need, and it encourages development practices (in particular, using a terminal, but also things like using a real text editor) that make programming easier both short- and longer- term. It's also not that hard to learn, especially for children, especially compared to Python. -- Devin _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
