In the structural engineering world windows is by far the dominant os. But I am also committed to linux.
In addtion to Ville's ideas: - I think all the programs in my stack have now been ported to portable apps. I've already verified I can run it on a thumb drive with temp installation only needed for latex (but I think latex/miktex is now portable) I could attempt to make a big zip file with the entire stack including python (several hundred megs) that could run without installation on a windows platform - On linux I could write a debian package. How robust are the linux package installers these days in terms of keeping different versions of programs and libraries separate? Could I expect them to honor a particular program dependency and library stack that I made, even if the user wanted to update some of the stack programs for other purposes?
