"A Knoppix / Debian variant tailored to numerical and quantitative analysis.
Executive Summary: The most recent version is 0.7.9.2 dated 26 February 2006 and released March 1, 2006 --- the second Quantian version based on the new Knoppix 4.0.2 release. [...]
Generally speaking, the items below should be considered 'available for motivated volunteers who want to make a difference'. The simpler the inclusion into Quantian, the higher the probability that it will appear.
The following need Debian packages first:
MPI Toolbox for Octave (MPITB) at http://atc.ugr.es/javier-bin/mpitb (suggested by Julio R Banga)
openBUGS, the open source implementation of the BUGS (Bayesian Inference via Gibbs Sampling) system for Monte Carlo Markov Chain estimation -- maybe as a binary package.
open Beagle, a versatile environment for evolutionary computation, would be nice. Needs Debian packages.
The ASPECT (Adaptable Simulation Product Exploration and Control Toolkit) would be nice, but someone needs to build Debian packages for it.
There may be some nuggets in the pile at Fortranlib.com. Golddiggers welcome.
Dstool which has/had version 2 in Debian, would be nice if version 3 at U of Minnesota could get packaged.
Cactus has been suggested by Marco.
ePix suggested by Enric M. Calvo.
cb2Bib suggested by Marco Caliari.
Molekel and mprime suggested by Claudiu Tanaselia.
GENtle, suggested by Magnus Manske
ParaView, an open-source, parallel visualization application, suggested by Marco Caliari
GDL -- GNU Data Language, a GPL'ed IDL implementation, suggested by John Hornstein
calchep, comphep, FeynDiagram (a C++ library to design Feynman Diagrams) all suggested by Joao Esteves
FreeHDL, SystemC libs and compiler all suggested by Simon de Feber"
