Yes indeed; keep Debian. BTW Bob, Debian has *.debs for Octave and Gnuplot. EXCERPT: Octave is a (mostly Matlab (R) compatible) high-level language, primarily intended for numerical computations. It provides a convenient command-line interface for solving linear and nonlinear problems numerically. This package is an empty 'virtual' package whose sole purpose is to install the current Octave version from the 2.1 branch. Once you have the octave2.1 package installed, you can remove this package. http://packages.debian.org/testing/math/octave Octave is a MatLab clone and works quite well. Also Gnuplot is available for debian: http://packages.debian.org/testing/math/gnuplot-x11 A good tutorial for Gnuplot is here: http://www.cs.uni.edu/Help/gnuplot/ I mention this because you said you were in school. _______________________________________________ CWE-LUG mailing list http://www.cwelug.org/ [email protected] http://lists.firepipe.net/listinfo/cwe-lug
