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.

Do you have any suggestions for teachers interested in using the free software in Debian to teach mathematics and statistics?

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:

I like also cantor, which provides a uniform interface to SciLab, -Sage, Octave, etc...

Which strategy do you believe is the right one to use to get schools to use free software?
