Hi Guys,
(snif)
I do not know squat about Fortran compilers.
Question: is there a good Fortran environment I should put on
his new computer? Bear in mind when you answer, that if my customer
likes your suggestion, doctoral engineering students will be required
to use it (tormented with it).
Many thanks,

My recommendation is Intel Fortran compiler.
http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-compilers/
Especially, for the Non-Commercial Software Development,
Free Download is available.

As a member of a french research laboratory which uses Intel compilers,
I must add a precision : Non Commercial use means that you are not paid
for your work, otherwise Intel compilers are not free, even on Linux.
See Intel FAQ :
http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/non-commercial-software-faq/
And especially the first answer :
*"What does noncommercial mean?*
Non-commercial means that you are not getting compensated in any form
for the products and/or services you develop using these Intel® Software
Products."
It is not the case for must of us.
So, for free use, go for gfortran, but my experience is that indeed
Intel compilers make faster code.
