Well we agree on that one. :)

Actually I am. But Linux and free software is not exactly the same
identity. First there are is a lot of free software for proprietory
platforms (like most Unixs) and secondly there are other free
operating kernels/systems (like freedos,Hurd,openbsd).

As much as I want that software should be completely free, 
we should start replacing proprietory software were we can.
Python replaces various proprietory script and programming languages
on the Win32 platform. Why should I recommend something different
for people you are fixed on Win32?

This is why I objected. Python is very well suited for programming
and scripting tasks on Win32. And it might even help to replace more
propietory software.

Nein, schon sehr lange nicht mehr. Beckenbauer war zwischendurch
erfolgreich Nationaltrainer und sitzt bei Bayern München im
Vorstand.
