Cute, really cute. I'd have to probably agree with that. These days I'd say Python is the better 
language for universe construction (or universal constructors) but PERL is probably the only 
universal duct tape old enough to have featured :)

I'm still using Debian, mainly because it's comfortable (like an old pair of undies) because it was 
my first linux distribution back in '96 and I'm too lazy to learn anything new.

I've kinda moved to Ubuntu for my desktops, but only because its the same comfy undies underneath 
with the daggy old T-shirt replaced with a nicely pressed shirt and tie. Honestly its still a toss 
up between that or Debian with Window Maker (for the minimalist systems), but Debian Servers all the 
way.

Joshua, asking that question anywhere (but a linux list particularly) is like walking into the 
United Nations world forum and asking for the best religion, it's never going to have a happy ending 
and may well terminate with either Godwins law or one member eating another.

Oh, vi 4eva!
