Rate this project
|
A new development cycle leading towards stable Quantian 0.6 has started: "The most recent version is 0.5.9.1 - the first Quantian version based on the new KNOPPIX 3.4, which offers a number of exciting changes, and clusterKNOPPIX v3.4-2004-05-10 with the openMosix-enabled 2.4.26. Among the recent changes are, beyond package updates throughout, the inclusion of the 'SNOW' packages for R (i.e. rpvm, rmpi, rsprng and snow) for distributed statistical computing, the axiom computer-algebra system, a large number of physics programs from Cern, and more. This release is a 'kitchen sink' version - it exceeds 700GB and cannot be burned to CDROM, but either loaded from disk or burned to DVD." Read more about the release on the distribution's home page.

| About Quantian
|
| A Knoppix/Debian variant tailored to numerical and quantitative analysis, Quantian is a remastering of Knoppix, the self-configuring and directly bootable CDROM that turns any PC or laptop (provided it can boot from CDROM) into a full-featured Linux workstation. The most recent version is based on clusterKnoppix and adds support for openMosix, including remote booting of light clients in an openMosix terminal server context. Quantian is an extension of Knoppix and clusterKnoppix from which it takes its base system of about 2GB of software, along with fully automatic hardware detection and configuration. However, Quantian differs from Knoppix by adding a set of programs of interest to applied or theoretical workers in quantitative or data-driven fields.
