That's true, since it is running using Debian packages. Most Debian-based GNU/Linux distributions contain .deb-packages with the core part of GAP and a small number of the GAP packages. After an update or new release of GAP it takes some time until these Linux distributions are updated to the newest GAP version. > Is there a standard way to add other packages to an Ubuntu installation? > > Or is it best to install a complete version in a separate location? When I was using Ubuntu, my preference was a complete installation in my preferred location, following the standard procedure as described at http://www.gap-system.org/Download/UNIXInst.html Hope this helps.
