Very! I've used Vim on Windows since the 5.3 version, it only gets better. Like Alan said there is a learning curve, but once you've "got it" there is no going back. > i wish i could learn Unix. which distro do you think is good to learn? If you just want to have the power of some Unix tools then take a look at http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/ , they all run fine in the standard Windows shell. If you want to try a Unix variant then find one of the many "Live" CD's out there which you can use before you slice up your disk. I'm a big fan of NetBSD but at the moment I'm running OpenBSD 4.0 on my PIII laptop and it's very nice. -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
