Wow. I havent seen a good religous war in some time. Will be burning
Larry Wall or Guido today? Its getting cold out soon so how about
burning them both and the rest of the heretics who do not use awk.
[Sorry.. just had a long 'discussion' on how Debian was the one true OS
and RH/Fedora/Gentoo heretics were the cause of all problems on the
earth.. I didnt figure I would see one here too.]
Nah.
This is not a religious thing. And my post wasn't meant as a troll.
Read all the justification posts about lean installs without perl, etc.
