Hi, Note that this list is about software, not science per se... Although you might meet people here who are knowledgeable or even experts in various fields, this is not really the best place to start a discussion about it. You could try looking for a "nanotechnology forum" on the web. That said, you start with "debien science" software just as with any other Debian software: you launch your package manager (be it synaptic, aptitude or other), you look for a package you want either by searching in your package manager or on the internet, and install it. For instance, look here: http://packages.debian.org/sid/science/science-nanoscale-physics This is in itself a package you can install. It "Recommends" and "Suggests" a variety of packages : you can install this package and all of the packages it recommends with: aptitude install -r science-nanoscale-physics To know the content of a package (in particular the binaries in /usr/bin), you can click on "list of files" on this package's page. For instance, for the "avogadro" package: http://packages.debian.org/en/sid/i386/avogadro/filelist Each executable in /usr/bin has a corresponding manual page that you read with "man <exec-name>", for instance: man avogadro man avopkg In addition, each package provides documentation (sometimes only little, sometimes a lot) under /usr/share/doc/<pkg-name>. For instance avogadro provides plenty of sample input files under /usr/share/doc/avogadro/examples/ Best regards, Thibaut. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
