It would be interesting to know how many people using some linux distribution actually install Maxima. (And presumably the number of Maximas exceeds the number of Sages, since every Sage includes Maxima). Nevertheless, a few hundred thousand voluntarily going out and installing Maxima on Window is an expression of interest from Windows users that is hard to deny. > > Also, maxima is not really a HPC application. It could be a front end to such a system, but I agree it is not itself. -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
