Hi, I used Mathematica for lInux in 1996 during my Honours program, and then later in my PhD.
The Student Version is feature complete - but it adds nasty little watermarks to any printed pages and any wepages you make with it. The most annoying thing I found was that after I had a disk failure I had to get a new license key, even though the drive in question had nothing to do with Mathematica or my data. I guess it's what Windoze users have to look forward to. You'll want to have a really big monitor to use it most effectively 19"+ at least, 'cos otherwise the fonts look butt ugly. This was a while ago, so perhaps using the TTF from Windoze via a local font server would work, I was using it prior to that being an effective option. And perhaps that's not a problem anymore. I also found that whilst the Windoze release pretty much used the whole box, I could do other things while my programs were running when I used the Linux port - I was doing ecological sims using big CA designs with multidimensional lattices, pumping the states through SPSS on a sparc on the LAN, and then visualizing the results of that back in Mathematica, so I was pushing the poor thing pretty hard.
