I don't know what the bit about a.out is about, for file reports:
Mathematica: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 386, version 1, stripped
Version 3.0 is *very* nice, with the entire 1400 page book available
via on-line help, along with classy typography. It also takes 116Mb
for a full install, as well as Motif (I don't know if lesstif would
work). It seems very fast and stable---Wolfram Research took the time
to do this right.
I've not yet experimented with notebook-->html pages and the like, but
there's lots of fun stuff to explore. Is there a Linux (or Debian)
Mathematica group??
