I've often found the Linux world to be like falling off a log, specifically, a log above a deep chasm with sharp rocks at the bottom :-) Linux has its place (though I tended to use FreeBSD more), but it's been several years since I've wanted to actually know how to manage my own system. I'd suggest that the variety of distribution/installation schemes that have been developed for these systems indicate that software installation is _not_ that easy to do on them. IMHO, any installation procedure that requires the user to compile a piece of software is fundamentally broken; the compilation step is part of the software development process, and should be done at the source, so that compilation/linking/make/etc. bugs can be handled there. Hence my question about installing Python-related packages on Windows (in spite of all of my other dislikes of Windows, which are numerous). On 14-Dec-05, at 9:16 PM, Dan Sommers wrote:
