And for Saifur Rahman, professor of electrical and computer engineering at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute, using Linux would have required new expertise.
...
In particular, his students use the Matlab mathematical calculation and data-processing software on Windows. Matlab on the desktop can tap into Matlab on the cluster for heavy lifting.
Well, as a professor he's no doubt used to assigning homework instead of doing it.
I suppose it would be kinder to not tell him that there's a native Linux version of MatLab and that it uses the exact same input and output files as the MS version, so his students (Heaven forbid they should have to actually learn anything) can do as much of the work as they like on either system. - Posted by: Yagotta B.
