I have a general question. Does it seem odd that a certificate in Python, an Open Source language; taught at O'Reilly, which offers an Open Source Programming Certificate and is something like waist-deep in Open Source publishing; is offered to the world at large but only (IIUC) if one runs some version of Windows by MS? Based on what I am given to understand from my correspondence with OST, it seems that I *must* install an instance of Windows to take the certificate's courses. Not that I particularly want to bash MS, but I am running FreeBSD, and have Python 2.x and 3.x installed; I can call either IDE; and I am competent at the shell, I think sufficiently, to manage coding at the shell. Is it normal for people in CS courses at the University and/or certificate level to learn a given language under Windows? Or is it just me who thinks it odd that an OS like FreeBSD won't (apparently, I stress) work with the O'Reilly Sandbox? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
