“Case 4” in the Product Description is the most important for me. The is
where I work in a university, but I know some commercial orgs that work
similarly. My developers are writing code and analyzing data. They are not
building or contributing to Fedora. Key tools are C, C++, python, R,
Matlab, Octave, plus git and svn.
Yes, this is importtant to me also. This is what seems closer to how
workstations are used for scientific research. Tools for analysing data (R,
Python, Perl, gnuplot, octave; also Matlab and IDL) and writing research
papers (latex). With less interest in having the latest desktop and more
interest in robustness, particullary in the tools used to do the work.
