The build of Sage on andLinux worked fine. Everything seems to work as advertised. It took quite a long time (about 10 minutes!) for the notebook.setup() initialization certtool to create the the private key required to run notebook in secure mode. Apparently this is a known problem of finding enough "entropy" with linux running on virtual machines. I guess it applies to co-linux/andLinux as well. Accessing notebook "locally" via FireFox running on andLinux seems very responsive. So far I have not been able to figure out how to access notebook from FireFox running natively from Windows, although I can ping the ip address of andLinux from the Windows command prompt. Perhaps this requires some additional non-devault co-linux network configuration option. As I understand it, packaging andLinux with additional pre-installed software (like Sage) involves just shutting down andLinux and re-tarballing the installation directory. I have a feeling however that this is going to be a rather big tarball with Sage included. I'll give this a try. I also will try creating an NSIS install since in the past I have had good results with it's compression methods. Again, I really would like to hear from anyone else who has tried to install andLinux. So far my experience involves only 4 Windows XP boxes although they were all configured slightly differently. andLinux ran "out-of-the-box" on all of these.
