I'd like to get input on how people has set up sage in academic environments. To be more concrete, let me tell my ideas on how to set up sage in my department, and what the problems are.. Currently, we have labs for exclusive use of the mathematics department. Unfortunately, our lab computers all

Having taught several classes using Sage, I highly recommend setting up a server (or possibly more than one if you have a lot of students). I tried setting up one sage instance per machine in a lab with macs, and it was a real pain to administer. There are quite a few advantages of having a smal
