Thread: Linux Anyone?

Yeah, I use Linux at uni (as I mainly program in an extremely inefficient language called Matlab and windows just uses too much resources). I actually prefer it to windows although you might have a pretty bad time getting some programs to work properly on Linux. Im gonna get another PC and set it up at home as a linux only but I'm gonna put kubuntu on it rather than fedora.

I use Debian linux. Matlab eh? Max are you an engineer?

Mark.

I'm a mathematician, I use it [Matlab] mainly for neural networks and simulations applying chaos theory to real world data (like heart beats). I use Matlab as basically it gets complicated enough without having to think how to program it all in C++ too.

The setup we have at uni is debian, its pretty decent.

I used to use Matlab for signal processing, and communication systems during my undergraduate days... For solving general mathematic solutions to engineering problems I used Mathematica. Man, I miss those days!

Are you an engineer then? I use mathematica occasionally, especially as it has a proper parallel processing capability rather than using the Matlab hack. I do generally prefer Matlab though, it makes the neural network implementation extremely simple

I am a electrical electronic engineer in the process of becoming a intellectual property attorney. Only one year to go! I used to love school, then I went to law school. I am about had it up to my ears with the socratic method...

Are you a student or a professor?
