I think it is absolutely reasonable to make the leap. I think it is
essential to make it easy for scientists to harness a Debian
installation for scientific tasks. It is sad for me to see a popcon
of 9 for massXpert, while it is downloaded 1.5 times a day in its
MS-Windows and Mac OS X incarnations and all the enquiries I get from
users are for these platforms...

Best regards,
                 Filippo
