Concerning (2) I think that if a gfortran it is already installed in the system, it would be reasonable to use rather than downloading a binary.(gfortran is in fact, a standard part of gcc, if gcc from the host system is used for compiling the parts of sage writen in C, why not doing the same with Fortran code?
I think that in order to increce the aceptance of Sage, it would be important that Sage be included in all Linux distributions, especially it would be nice to have a Debian/Ubuntu package (and a Gentoo ebuild). But in order to make it easier, it would be nice if Sage could be build using the tools already available in the host system. Perhaps using the binary for gfortran could be make it optional as a last resource if everything else fails. > 2.
