In Debian Linux "apt-get" is a command that can be used to completely 
manage all of the programs on the system - mostly automatically. Windows 
and Mac? have nothing equivalent. This is one of the main reasons that I 
use Debian. If you have never worked with any Unix / Linux systems then 
you must understand that the philosophy is totally different than 
Windows. Mac is closer to a Unix style system but not close enough in my 
book.

By a clean system, I mean one that no longer has files lying around from 
django, virtualenv or my projects. Python is used all over the system 
and has to stay.

Please reply to the list via the original message or the thread will be 
fragmented and be impossible to follow.

Thanks for the reply
