Installation on Linux is easy if there is a package in the package manager, as is the case for example on Ubuntu. One problem is that at least on Ubuntu (the only flavor of Linux with which I have significant experience) the python-visual package tends to be quite far out of date, though that hardly matters for a beginners' course. Another problem is that apparently for many Linux distributions no one has created an official package, and if you have to build from source you need strong computer skills.

In fact, we are going to use it this summer to teach middle schoolers the basics of programming and science in a way that gives immediate feedback. The biggest problem I have is installation on linux (it's a breeze on Mac), though that's probably only a small population of the users, so I understand the slower development. > > Seth Morton ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enable your software for Intel(R) Active Management Technology to meet the growing manageability and security demands of your customers.
