On the other hand, the *.sagenb.org farm is not *bad* for regular use. If you are doing serious research stuff using tons of CPU, you will want your own or a ssh connection to a machine with it; if it's more like a calculator please just use sagenb. It really depends on what you want to do :) The local install is pretty easy on Mac and Linux. You could also set up a server on site wherever you are, if you have an old box lying around that could be set up that way. Regarding the downtime issue, there have occasionally been rumors of someone or some organization starting a service which *would* guarantee this and provide support. So far, that hasn't happened, but see e.g. http://www.scribtex.com/ and http://webwork.maa.org/faq.html#hosting for random-ish examples with other open source projects of interest to mathematicians. - kcrisman -- To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URL: http://www.sagemath.org
