i'm not sure what you mean by "compiler support". OS X 10.0, 10.1 and
10.2 all have complete developer packages you can install with
compilers etc. there really isn't much of a difference.
as far as python binaries go, if i set up a production-level machine i
would never use built-in binaries, anyway. you also point out that you
would roll all software yourself, so whether the OS has a python binary
or not does not matter. neither of use would use it.
i fully agree with all other recommendations you made. for our larger
installs we have "standardized" on RedHat 7.3 as the base operating
system.
