The researcher Vegner Utuni and his
co-workers (in Brazil), members of the LabCACC (Computational Laboratory of
Crystallographic and Crystalline Analyses) group, present to the Rietvelders
Community a distribution of the operational system GNU/Linux (Stallman et al.,
1984; Torvalds et al., 1991), named Kcristal, whose main merit is to collect,
develop and distribute crystallographic softwares in a simplified
way. Kcristal is available as a CD image
in ISO format at http://labcacc.iq.unesp.br/kcristal.
Kcristal is a freeware which can be redistributed and modified in the terms set
by the GNU General Public License, version 2.2 (GNU 2004). Any suggestions and critics from the Community for possible corrections and improvements of the present distribution are welcome. In a near future, an article
including more details about this distribution will be available so that our
fellows may have a better understanding of the philosophy intended within this
distribution. Sincerely yours, |
