Subject: Re: Ruby for system administration

As a matter of fact, on recent Red Hat systems, only Python is likely
to succeed in the requirement of having a current RPM binding
available, as RH uses it for their configuration and administration
tools.

IMHO, a good systems administration language should provide a nice
high-level logic layer *on top* of the existing OS, shell, and admin
tools, not a ground-up replacement. That makes Ruby fine for my uses,
and I would imagine for most potential users out there, as well.
