: does anyone here use mathematica on linux? if so, how does it perform?

Yup. I've been using it since March on Linux. Originally had a copy licensed
on 95 (that was before I knew it was available for Linux.) One day just for
giggles I tried a number of things on both systems (I've got 95 and Linux
running on the same box, a 486-100 with 16 mg memory). I averaged 25-30%
better performance on the Linux boot, and have had no problems with system
hangups or crashes, something I would get very occasionally under 95.
Don't know how 3.0 is going to do---can't afford the upgrade yet.
