| Lingyis said: back in grad school i used ubuntu a lot, mostly for research, which is good since a lot of academic stuff is available only for linux. but the whole issues with dependencies and what-nots is an utter pain in my rears... ubuntu didn't really offer anything i couldn't do in windows, and eventually i switched back to windows and just started using cygwin and x-win32, which isn't free. |
The problem is, this isn't really much of an option for 64-bit stuff which -- at least for the HPC research world -- is pretty much a must.
