We are using Gnumeric in our introductory statistics courses, so we are
using it for various data manipulations, statistical analyses
(hypotheses tests, regressions, ANOVA,..), graphing etc.

We are usually using always one of the newest versions available in
Debian unstable (1.8.1 in the moment) and occasionally a fresh compile
from svn.

Platform? Linux of course. Our department doesn't have any machines
available for students that use anything but Linux. (I would like to say
that we are only running Linux but one faculty member has a dual boot
Linux/MS Windows machine.)
