Announcing Quantian release 0.5.9.1
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
I What is it?
Quantian is a remastering of Knoppix, the self-configuring and directly
bootable cdrom that turns any pc or laptop into a full-featured Linux
workstation, and clusterKnoppix, which adds support for openMosix.=20
However, Quantian differs from (cluster)Knoppix by adding a large set=20
of programs of interest to applied or theoretical workers in=20
quantitative or data-driven fields.=20
See http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/quantian.html for more details.
=20
II What is new?
o First release based on Knoppix 3.4 with many changes such as improved
hardware detection and support for new hardware, the addition of
captive-ntfs which may allow write support for ntfs partitions, KDE
3.2.2 with kdevelop and more;
o Based on Knoppix 3.4, the clusterKnoppix release from May 10 adds
kernel 2.4.26 with the 'testing status' openMosix patch as well as
a non-openMosix kernel 2.6.6; updated openMosix goodies gomd, chpox,
tyd; support for atheros wireless, cisco mpi 350 wireless, prism54,=20
host-ap
o New Quantian software includes many new R / CRAN packages such as
gregmisc, sm, quadprog and the entire snow suite: snow, rmpi, rpvm,
rsprng for 'Simple Network of Workstations' distributed computing=20
using either one of pvm or mpi; the Axiom computer-algebra system;
python-tables and cernlib which pulls in a large number of packages
from the CERN particle physics lab
o 'kitchen sink' size -- this release comes in at 1.1gb and will /not/
fit onto a cdrom. It runs really well from disk, see the 'lilo howto'
http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/quantian/howto_liloboot.html for details
on how to boot the iso from hard disks. Burning a dvd with the larger
iso image should also work.
o Last but not least, custom artwork thanks to a contributed background
image provided by Ed Pegg Jr.
o Mailing lists for Quantian up and running
Following the 0.4.9.3 release, a Quantian project was opened on
alioth.debian.org. So far the only use of the alioth infrastructure
has been the creation of two mailing lists
quantian-announce for announcements, intended to be low volume
quantian-general for general discussions about Quantian
Please go to =20
http://alioth.debian.org/mail/?group_id=3D1425
for subscription info etc., and start using the quantian-general lists
for general questions, comments, suggestions or discussions about=20
Quantian.
Quantian-general is subscribed to quantian-announce, so you only need
to subscribe to one (but can of course subscribe to both).
o See http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/quantian/changelog.html for details.
III Where do I get it?
Downloads are available from the two main hosts both of which also
provide rsync:
o U of Washington: =20
- http://www.analytics.washington.edu/downloads/quantian
- rsync://www.analytics.washington.edu::quantian
o European mirrors, bittorrent site and cdrom vendors will hopefully
catch up over the next few days. See=20
http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/quantian.html
=20
for download info.
IV Known Bugs
o None right now -- so please test away!=20
V Other items
o Mailing lists have been created, see above.
o Feedback / poll on package additions or removal
As always, I welcome comments and suggestions about programs to be
added or removed. Existing Debian packages get pushed to the front of
the line.
Please send feedback, questions, comments, ... to the=20
=20
qua...@li...
list to maximise the number of eyes glancing at any one question.
Best regards, Dirk

My bad -- sorry. I just corrected it in the changelog.wml file from which
the .html is created. It was copy&paste from there to the announcement.
