This looks like a huge deal, and I'm surprised this isn't already in the Debian/Ubuntu repositories. Especially since it's GPL (not clear from sagemath.org, took some digging to confirm) and most of the base packages are in Debian. I did find this: http://wiki.sagemath.org/DebianSAGE http://wiki.sagemath.org/DebianSAGE Still, I'm shocked that this has gone under the radar for so long. Is this par for the course for academics -- creating something impressive and waiting years before publicizing it? Regardless, I will certainly make a point of evangelizing Sage when I go back to school this fall.
