+ Thanks to NeuroDebian I now have to spend my time thinking hard about what to do with the tools, rather than leisurely installing them and tracking dependencies.

+ NeuroDebian not only helped our lab focus on research and producing
+ results with FOSS, it has also made it much easier to maintain
+ version control, facilitating data portability and
+ reproducibility. I see this as the most important current project
+ working towards transparent neuroscientific methods with clear and

+ Neurodebian provides not only a platform for neuroscience
+ applications that makes maintenance of collections of tools
+ easy. The staff also gives a very quick support in case of - very
+ rare - problems. Altogether Neurodebian saves a lot of time and
+ money.
