I'm here just to say that for non-US users, the name of the program is not the simplest to found on the web. SAGE is a name with many different meanings and I'd suggest a more "peculiar" name that could let the program to be found instantly on the web.
And I agree that a web site with many examples open to free contribution and a .deb package would increase greatly the number of users. Just think about how many Debian users try to find a mathematica package in apt repository.
