“Case 4” in the Product Description is the most important for me. The is where I work in a university, but I know some commercial orgs that work similarly. My developers are writing code and analyzing data. They are not building or contributing to Fedora. Key tools are C, C++, python, R, Matlab, Octave, plus git and svn.
We use enterprise logins (ldap + MIT krb5). Desktops are NFS clients, data is stored on file servers. Desktops often have multiple displays.
Desktops are professionally managed. The level of developer admin is going to vary based on the organization. Generally the developer isn’t installing the workstation. Home directories are centrally stored and preserved across updates.
In summary: * enterprise logins (large numbers of users and groups) * network filesystems (NFS, SMB, etc..) * centralized network and desktop management (lots of great tools exist) Cheers, Jimmy
