That's fabulous - where is it from?

I went to a company this week (whom I will hopefully be spending a lot 
of time with soon) who are writing a product in python on Linux.  They 
use PyUnit for test-first development, they do pair programming, and all 
of the other wonderful things you read about in eXtreme Programming 
books... it seems to come with the territory.

There developers run whatever distro they like (two Gentoo boxen in the 
office !) and the product is on Debian.
