New Quantian release 0.7.9.1 available


(Please see note [1] below regarding recipients for this posting. Thanks!)

Executive Summary: 

    Quantian 0.7.9.1 is the first Quantian release based on Knoppix 4.0.2.
    Quantian adds hundreds of scientific / numeric packages, as well as the
    openMosix enabled 2.4.27 kernel, to the cdrom version of Knoppix. 

    Relative to the previous release 0.6.9.3, hundreds of applications have
    been updated, and many new applications (such as polyxmass, scigraphica,
    kst, octaviz, gromacs) have been added. Quantian now contains over 2400
    Debian packages, and over 800 packages for R.

    Quantian comes as one bootable dvd iso of 2.5gb (compressed) with
    almost 7 gb (uncompressed) of software of interest to quantitative 
    analysts, scientists, researchers or students.

===================================

I   What is it?

    Quantian is a remastering of Knoppix, the self-configuring and directly
    bootable cdrom/dvd that turns any pc or laptop into a full-featured Linux
    workstation, and (parts of) clusterKnoppix, which adds support for
    openMosix-based  cluster computing. However, Quantian differs from
    Knoppix by having a particular focus on quantitative, numerical or 
    scientific applications, and hence adds a very large set of programs of
    interest to applied or theoretical workers in quantitative or data-driven

New Quantian torrent at tlm-project


As I mentioned recently on quantian-general and in my blog, the machine
hosting Quantian at University of Washington is no more. I am indebted to
Tony, Eric and U W for the service and bandwidth they have provided. It
really helped.

While we do not yet another primary West Coast mirror, I am happy to announce
that the the Linux Mirror Project now has a torrent service for Quantian at

	http://www.tlm-project.org/public/distributions/quantian/

which currently covers the previous release from December. Thanks to Matt for
setting this up.  

With a bit of luck we may have a new Quantian building on Knoppix 4.0.1 in
the not too distant future, but work has not yet commenced on this, so don't
quite hold your breath yet.

Best regards, Dirk
