I got one person to try out the Debian XFCE livecd for data recovery when his Windows install got messed up somehow, but that's it.<BR/><BR/>If there were a real push to move everyone to GNU/Linux, I expect the problem will be instrument control---we use a lot of LabView stuff, and all the versions we have installed are Windows versions (and of course, having bought Windows version doesn't mean you can ue GNU/Linux version for free---you still have to buy that one again).<BR/><BR/>I myself am personally moving away from LabView and learning to use ... python for the same task (PyVISA supports most interfaces that LabView seems to), but I don't see other people doing that.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08150498480148551148noreply@blogger.com
