[Visualpython-users] visual in Quantian 0.7.9.2 LiveDVD

[Rob S. <sa...@ph...>]

I just noticed that
VPython is available on
Quantian 0.7.9.2 (a live linux-DVD variant of Knoppix).

from http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/quantian.html ,
"Quantian is a remastering of Knoppix, the self-configuring and directly
bootable cdrom/dvd that turns any pc or laptop (provided it can boot from
cdrom/dvd) into a full-featured Linux workstation. Quantian also
incorporates clusterKnoppix and adds support for openMosix, including
remote booting of light clients in an openMosix terminal server context.

...Quantian differs from Knoppix by adding a large number of programs of
interest to applied or theoretical workers in quantitative or data-driven
fields.

(As an alternative, there is also the LiveZope variant of Knoppix, which
[I believe] can be obtained from ftp://math.cgu.edu.tw/pub/KNOPPIX/ ,
although I'm not sure which .iso to choose. )
