By the way... does anybody know _why_ it's got this slightly
inconvenient name?  Presumably it's an Object Oriented Toolkit, but
what does the R stand for?

I would also rephrase this paragraph, mostly to avoid "use them for
your own use":

  You are free to download these fonts and use them for your own purposes,
  but you have no permission to redistribute them in modified form, including
  changes to the file name or packaging format.

It could do with being less waffly.  Splitting it helps, but how
about:

   The ROOT system provides a set of OO frameworks with all the
   functionality needed to handle and analyze large amounts of data
   efficiently.
   .
   With the data defined as a set of objects, specialized storage methods
   can give direct access to the separate attributes of the selected
   objects, without having to touch the bulk of the data.

(en_US "analyze", "specialized", and so on.)  Then in the next para:

Straighten out some of that syntactic plumbing.

   The command language, the scripting (or macro) language, and the
   programming language are all C++, thanks to the built-in CINT C++
   interpreter. This interpreter removes the time consuming compile/link
   cycle, allowing for fast prototyping of the macros, and providing a

No it doesn't!  It provides development libraries for that plugin.

Good, but not true of "The ROOT system".  Move the "This package

"This font files"?  Tell you what, make it:

   This package will install the TrueType Fonts (TTF) used by ROOT.
   These fonts are provided by Microsoft under a license that restricts
   redistribution. This package will download the fonts from the ROOT

Description: metapackage to install all ROOT packages
 The ROOT system provides a set of OO frameworks with all the
 functionality needed to handle and analyze large amounts of data
 efficiently.
 .
 With the data defined as a set of objects, specialized storage methods
 can give direct access to the separate attributes of the selected
 objects, without having to touch the bulk of the data. Included are
 histograming methods in 1, 2 and 3 dimensions, curve fitting, function
 evaluation, minimization, graphics and visualization classes to allow the
 easy creation of an analysis system that can query and process the data
 interactively or in batch mode.
 .
 The command language, the scripting (or macro) language, and the   
 programming language are all C++, thanks to the built-in CINT C++    
 interpreter. This interpreter removes the time consuming compile/link
 cycle, allowing for fast prototyping of the macros, and providing a
 good environment to learn C++. If more performance is needed, the
 interactively developed macros can be compiled using a C++ compiler.
 .
 The system has been designed in such a way that it can query its
 databases in parallel on MPP machines or on clusters of workstations
 or high-end PCs. ROOT is an open system that can be dynamically
 extended by linking external libraries. This makes ROOT a premier
 platform on which to build data acquisition, simulation and data
 analysis systems.
 .
 This package is a metapackage to ensure the installation of all
 possible ROOT packages on a system.

 algorithms that can generate random numbers from large classes of
 continuous or discrete distributions, and also from practically all

 .
 To generate random numbers the user must supply some information
 about the desired distribution, especially a C-function that computes
 the density and - depending on the chosen methods - some additional
 information (such as the borders of the domain, the mode, and the
 derivative of the density). After a user has given this information,
 an init-program computes all tables and constants necessary for the
 random variate generation. The sample program can then generate
 variates from the desired distribution.

  - Multi-dimensional likelihood estimator (PDE - range-search approach)
  - Fisher (and Mahalanobis) discriminant
  - H-Matrix (chi-squared) estimator
  - Artificial Neural Network (two different implementations)
  - Boosted Decision Trees
 .
 The TMVA package includes an implementation for each of these
 discrimination techniques, their training and testing (performance
 evaluation). In addition all these methods can be tested in parallel,
 and hence their performance on a particular data set may easily be

Description: Numerical data analysis framework - general applications
 The ROOT system provides a set of OO frameworks with all the
 functionality needed to handle and analyze large amounts of data
 efficiently.
 .
 With the data defined as a set of objects, specialized storage methods
 can give direct access to the separate attributes of the selected
 objects, without having to touch the bulk of the data. Included are
 histograming methods in 1, 2 and 3 dimensions, curve fitting, function
 evaluation, minimization, graphics and visualization classes to allow the
 easy creation of an analysis system that can query and process the data
 interactively or in batch mode.
 .
 The command language, the scripting (or macro) language, and the   
 programming language are all C++, thanks to the built-in CINT C++    
 interpreter. This interpreter removes the time consuming compile/link
 cycle, allowing for fast prototyping of the macros, and providing a
 good environment to learn C++. If more performance is needed, the
 interactively developed macros can be compiled using a C++ compiler.
 .
 The system has been designed in such a way that it can query its
 databases in parallel on MPP machines or on clusters of workstations
 or high-end PCs. ROOT is an open system that can be dynamically
 extended by linking external libraries. This makes ROOT a premier
 platform on which to build data acquisition, simulation and data
 analysis systems.
