For teaching? Can't say. But we develop on Linux-x86 with
compilers on a network-mounted drive and licensed with floating
licenses; we develop on UNIX with locally mounted compilers; we
develop for Windows on PCs with compilers that are locally
mounted but (for Intel Fortran) licensed on a network basis
via floating licenses.
For UNIX development we're usually logged in via a remote
X-server -- and it doesn't matter whether the X-server is
running on a PC or on Linux/UNIX. Our developers generally
have Linux PCs on their desktops, so most of us compile
for Linux on the desktop host. But since I have a PC
on my desk, I login to Linux, as well as UNIX, via X to compile.
FWIW, we use Exceed from Hummingbird as our X-server on PCs.
-P.
