Quantian 0.5.9.1 - A scientific computing environment.

About:
Quantian is a directly bootable and self-configuring Linux system on a
single CD-ROM. Based on Knoppix and clusterKnoppix, it provides
out-of-the box support for openMosix as well as about 500MB of additional
software with a quantitative, numerical, or scientific focus such as R
(including many CRAN packages), Octave (including several add-on
packages), Gambit, Gap, GiNaC, GMT, Grace, Gri, GSL, Maxima, OpenDX,
Pari, PDL, PSPP, QuantLib, XLisp-Stat, Yacas, and Yorick.

Changes:
This is the first release based on Knoppix 3.4, which it adds improved
hardware detection, captive-ntfs, and KDE 3.2.2 with kdevelop. The May 10
release of clusterKnoppix adds the 2.4.26 openMosix kernel and updated
tools such as gomd, chpox, and tyd. Quantian adds many CRAN packages,
including the snow suite for distributed computing, the Axiom
computer-algebra system, python-tables, and cernlib with a large number of
packages from CERN. A custom background image was added.

Release focus: Major feature enhancements

In that case Gordon Darlings, as evry time very goog post, is
incorrect (sorry Gordon), but the iso is about 1GB, and is at the
moment, only for burning on DVD or installed directly on HDD.
In version 0.6 there will be ? a cd version.

Thanks for the correction. I suppose this is the way things will go. First
everybody used bootable floppies, now bootable CD ROMs stuffed with tools
are the norm. As DVD writers become more common we'll all have to move to
bootable DVDs with Gigabytes of goodies!
