Debian used in Scientific Workstation setup
December 14, 1998
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thomas E. Vaughan <vaughan@32bitsonline.com> has written an article entitled
"A GNU/Linux Scientific Workstation" which is available online at
<http://www.32bitsonline.com/article.php3?file=issues/199812/sciencework1&pag
e=1>
It is written at a fairly high level and discusses the general requirements
for setting up a scientific workstation (as opposed to setting up an X, web,
or file server) including the hardware and system setups.
"An alternative packaging system is offered by Debian, whose
typical DEB package, upon installation (or deinstallation),
magically adjusts the window manager's menu system
appropriately. I use Debian GNU/Linux. Every piece
of software that I discuss in this and the next
article has an associated DEB package, provided by
Debian, and probably has an associated RPM package."
