<p>I am using the KDE Plasma Desktop. But the pieces of software I use
most runs in a terminal: Mutt and OfflineIMAP for emails, latex for
scientific documents, mpd for music. VIM is my editor of choice. I am
-also using the mathematical software Scilab and Sage (built from
-source as not completely packaged for Debian, yet).

<p><strong>Do you have any suggestions for teachers interested in
using the free software in Debian to teach mathematics and
statistics?</strong></p>
<p>I do not have any "nice" recommendations for statistics. At our
-university, we use both R and Scilab to teach statistics and
-probabilistic simulations. For geometry, there are nice programs:</p>

-<p>I like also cantor, which provides a uniform interface to SciLab,

<p><strong>Which strategy do you believe is the right one to use to
get schools to use free software?</strong></p>
