All releases of The Quantian Scientific Computing Environment
Release Notes: Sun's Java 1.5.0 SDK was added, and with it the Java applications ImageJ, Weka, JGR, and Mondrian. Several other applications were added, many programs and libraries were updated, and a few bugs from 0.7.9.1 were corrected. Quantian now comes as one compressed ISO of 2.7gb, corresponding to 7.6gb of fully configured software.
Release Notes: This release is the first one based on Knoppix 4.0.2, and it also contains a backport of openMosix. The size of the ISO image is now 2.5gb compressed, corresponding to 7gb of code. Several new packages have been added, and hundreds have been updated.
Release Notes: Several new packages were added, such as clustalw/clustalx/clustalw-mpi, seaview, and iraf. Packages such as Octave and Scilab were updated to the newest versions from Debian unstable. The Rpad (www.rpad.org) interactive Web-based R GUI was added, fully configured, and can be launched with a simple command. About ten new packages from CRAN that were released since Quantian 0.6.9.2 were added. Around fifteen CRAN packages were updated to current versions as of December 11, 2004. The dse, CoCo, and gregmisc bundles that had been omitted in Quantian 0.6.9.2 were added.
Release Notes: This release adds many new packages, including almost 475 R packages, BioConductor, labplot, dia, tla, subversion, python-mathplotlib, and python-gdal.
Release Notes: The release was based on (cluster)Knoppix 3.6 and included kernels 2.4.27 and 2.6.7, an additional openMosix kernel for 2.4.27 with the shared memory migration patch, enhanced hardware autodetection, the FreeNX server, and ndiswrapper for loading proprietary drivers for wireless network cards. Other additions included openswan 2.1.5, ipw2100, drbd, fuse, bcm4400, and many meta-packages from the Debian subprojects Debian-Med, Debian-Edu, and Debian-Junior, and updated packages throughout.
Release Notes: Over 50 new R packages from CRAN and BioConductor were added, as were various other programs, including pcb, setiathome, tkseti, xplanet, xplanet-images, saoimage, gpsim, gnucap, oregano, icom, xcircuit, vipec, xsmc-calc, transcalc, Alliance, xd3d, and QtiPlot. Gnumeric and LyX were added once again. A few fixes and enhancements (boot splash screen, improved boot image, md5sum for checking) were applied.
Release Notes: Over 360 GNU R packages from the CRAN and BioConductor archives were added, along with the GNU geda electronics design software, an almost complete debian-med suite, the scalapack development suite, atlas3 and lam development packages, fancy GL screensavers, and lots of recommended documentation packages. A general update was done of more than 300 Debian packages, bringing the size of the disk image to over 1.5GB, corresponding to 4.4GB uncompressed.
Release Notes: Bioinformatics support was added via BioConductor, the bioperl and biopython projects, and via tools such as blast2 and emboss. Extensive financial engineering and computational finance packages for R from the Rmetrics projects were added, as were new CRAN packages lme4, matrix, and psy. General scientific packages (kalzium, celestia, starplot, openbabel, chemtool, xtide, viewmol, and achilles) were added as was the qemu emulator. About 430 Debian packages from testing (with some from unstable) were updated, including X11, gcc, Perl, and R.
Release Notes: This is the first release based on Knoppix 3.4, which it adds improved hardware detection, captive-ntfs, and KDE 3.2.2 with kdevelop. The May 10 release of clusterKnoppix adds the 2.4.26 openMosix kernel and updated tools such as gomd, chpox, and tyd. Quantian adds many CRAN packages, including the snow suite for distributed computing, the Axiom computer-algebra system, python-tables, and cernlib with a large number of packages from CERN. A custom background image was added.
Release Notes: The transparent loading of Atlas libraries has been improved, which fixes the problems with the SciPy regression tests. Support for the parallel computing toolkits lam and mpich has been added, as have prosper, pdfscreen, and preview-latex for LaTeX. The lua language has been added, as well.
