I've also found it much easier to maintain than MySQL. As far as language, you should look for something that looks "fun" to you. Language's are really all over the place, it really depends on what looks like you are going to want to develop in it. Perl is popular as it is on nearly every *nix system in the world (it is also what the pkg_* tools are written in), Ruby is popular with its Ruby on Rails web framework (there is a lot more to Ruby than Rails fyi) and finally Python which is popular and I would recommend. But what matters to me may not matter to you. Take a look at some tutorials and find something that you _want_ to program in. (Sorry Sam for the spam). -- # Curt Micol
