That maybe true but then again, Bristol is the outside-toilet... ;)

Agreed.  The sooner Unixware gets lsdev on their servers the better...

Do I spy the start of a distro war here?

PHP mainly.  I've touched on C/C++ but as I've had to learn it all of  
my own back, it's not so hot.

I'd love to learn more though, especially perl.  I'm not really a  
programer, however I can really see where perl, python etc can help  
SysAdmins automate things.

Cheers,

Matt
