Megjelent a Quantian disztribúció 0.5.9.1-es verziója.
Újdonságok listája:
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,
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
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
