[Tutor] Find a good linux distribution with python.

[OkaMthembo]

bhaaluu, your comments on Ubuntu are not only offensive, but display
ignorance and arrogance all at the same time.
Ubuntu is based on Debian, but provides a lower entry barrier to Linux for
many.

Not everybody wants to spend much time doing configurations. Many just want
a system that works.

Michael, to answer your question - Ubuntu is just fine!

Regards,
Lloyd
