"Nanotechnology" is a huge field that can be approached from nearly any science and engineering discipline. Biology, physics, chemical engineering/chemistry, mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering all deal with nanotechnology one way or the other. One of the famous first books was "Engines of Creation" but K. Eric Drexler. He released an updated free (beer) version as an ebook in 2007 [1]. Once you find an area of nanotech you are interested in you'll have to go to the library and try to find books/paper/magazine articles that talk about your area. As for debian packages, there really isn't much to "learn" nanotechnology - but there are packages useful for those working in nanotechnology (such as the nanoscale-physics task [2]). To "get started with Debian Science" simply install the metapackage for the area you are interested in (list is here [3]). Of course those packages tend to be useful for people working in the fields rather than those interested in learning about the fields. ~Scott [1] http://www.wowio.com/users/product.asp?BookId=503 [2] http://blends.alioth.debian.org/science/tasks/nanoscale-physics [3] http://packages.debian.org/source/sid/debian-science -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
