> Thanks for the suggestion on migrating to Python, Brian. I've added it
as a priority to the Swift Linux Launchpad page. <br>> My first migration
targets will be new features not already implemented with GNU Bash.
Over time, I will gradually convert <br>> parts of my source code to Python,
though more urgent priorities will take precedence. I am glad that I no
longer have <br>> everything crammed into one repository. My new arrangement
lends itself to graduate migration while the previous <br>> arrangements do
not. (Believe it or not, I had the whole process of transforming antiX
Linux into Swift Linux crammed <br>> into one long script in the early days.
Of course, that was before I had any understanding of the essence of
good software <br>> development.)<br>
<br clear="all">Couple of things. I'm curious how many tasks top reports on Swift Linux<br>with just a terminal and top running. I have a Fedora 15 box that I use<br>for development. I can't think of any servers that I've told it to run<br>
and it doesn't have http servers running on it. Shortly after it boots, <br>top reports that it has 137 tasks running. After 15 minutes or so that <br>number has dropped to 129.<br><br>And a suggestion: you might have some "office hours" -- an hour<br>
or two a week where you commit to being available to chat with<br>people and possibly allow remote logins. That would let people <br>kick the tires a bit themselves. (I'm working on something like <br>that myself.)<br>
