I want to basically have a dedicated machine for running scientific computation programs and be able to access it remotely anywhere using a laptop/netbook. That means I don’t care much about GUIs. I’m used to using Unix and am perfectly fine with doing everything through a command window. At the same time however, I’m not a skilled programmer and want whichever is easiest to set-up and run things on. I also, need the OS to be able to run MATLAB.
So basically I want to find out which is the best OS for creating numerical analysis programs in C/C++/Fortran/MATLAB which leads me to these questions:
Also on a slightly related topic, can I just build my own home server for cheap? By cheap I mean a budget under $2,500
So basically I want to find out which is the best OS for creating numerical analysis programs in C/C++/Fortran/MATLAB which leads me to these questions:
- Which one would be the most powerful in regard to numerical analysis and solving complex equations
- Which would be best/run most efficiently on PC hardware?
- Which is the easiest to set-up remote access to?
