[edu-discuss] Scientific programs for indiana?

[Josh]

Hi all,

Anybody know where to get packages for some common scientific programs such as:

R + packages
python + packages... numpy, scipy, pylab
fftw
some sort of tex distribution + packages
octave

I had my first exposure to Solaris as an undergrad working in a computational biology lab. I know it's in pretty wide use academically. It would be nice if scientific packages were available. Right now I'm trying to use pkgsrc, but I think having a formal scientific repository is a nicer solution. So I guess this post is part question and part suggestion.
