Jorge,

try out my version, is minimalistic and focused on both science
students and teachers. Sage runs really smooth and you have
just everything you need :)

Greetings,

I'm very curious -- Could you make a version that is a VirtualBox
appliance with a read/write filesystem using squashfs and unionfs to
keep the initial uncompressed size small?

Lucio,

 

I seem to recall an older version of the Sage CD that was a little difficult to use.  I just recently tried out the 4.1.1 CD and find it very responsive.  I like the simple interface and the fact that can always fire up Firefox and use http://www.sagenb.org if you need to!  Its seems to be based on debian or ubuntu.  How is your version different?

First off, thank you for your complements :)

Sage 4.2 Lightweight LiveCD has the same except from the newest Sage.

It is an Ubuntu built from scratch and a correct selection of packages to
install to make it faster and lighter.

Greetings,

Lucio.
