I love those. The only one I have an issue is -> |sort |uniq -c |sort. There 
has to be a better way. But I love awk to bits. 

I guess I love software that I underestimate and then it suprises me. awk does 
that. cpan has some neat stuff in it.

I've been using redhat too long to move across even though debian does 
interest me. Maybe one day.... The software I support is also only officially 
supported on RedHat so its my distribution of choice.

Gentoo interested me enough to download it and try it out but waiting 3 days 
for an operating system without X is way too long for me. If I had a faster 
PC and network connection then I'd give it more of my time. Sure it has X and 
KDE support but after 3 days I'd had enough compiling and enough of the 
bandwidth at work. Its an interesting distribution and I hope it goes far.
