And it looks to me as Tuomo is being vindicated :) Kidding aside, it goes beyond the "FOSS herd's attitude." Shall I, more generally, recommend reading the book--among those fundamentals ones to have opened once in life--and classic, How to Solve It, by George Polya? If you are keen to improve your problem solving skills, and don't know the book yet, this is a HIGHLY suggested reading. George Polya has been a professor in Mathematics but don't fear. Similarly to Karl Marx, who [correctly, eventually ... and in a sense--Marx was humorously exaggerating a bit of course] has remarked that even a child would be able to understand and follow the logic of his *Das Kapital*, a work, nota bene, among the most important achievements of humanity [Louis Althusser: das Kapital has opened to mankind the *continent* of the SCIENTIFIC study of history and related disciplines nothing less], George Polya could have stated that no other mathematical knowledge beyond an elementary one is required to understand How to Solve It. (Well, maybe Polya has said that too.) In short, the book, How to Solve It, is focused on understanding problems, devising and carrying out plans, checking the answers. And the strategies practiced in it could even help you in--example--ordering pizza in New York, eventually. (Ordering pizza more effectively, I mean.) Anyway: please, please, PLEASE ... Tuomo, stick with system.mk!
