[Tutor] Init Scripts

[Monika Jisswel]

IMHO the Linux OS itself relays heavily on python in some way or the other,
but as far as the boot process is concerned I think you should consider the
fact that it was engeneered by very smart poeple, very security aware
poeple, so you will have to give a really good ALTERNATIVE to thier
engeneering to compete with them, I would suggest you move to Debian instead
of Redhat, I think it's better but its a personal choice.

But the Modules that deal with this would be : os, sys, subprocess & many
other I don't know of :)
