Key scientific software packages are now available on our Office and Package discs. Favorite free software titles, first packaged for Darwin and Mac OS X by the Distribution, are included such as VIM, Ghostscript, Gnumeric, LaTeX, PyMOL (screenshot shown bottom left), Rasmol, gdFortran, LAM/MPI, AbiWord, GNUplot, and Raster3D. All are available for both x86 (i386) and ppc (PowerPC, Darwin, Mac OS X) systems. Worry-free open source and command line installation is provided, and binary software distribution means that no compiling is necessary. Easy access to updates is also provided via our automated download system (ppc, x86).
As the premier free software distribution (founded Nov, 2000) for Darwin and Mac OS X, GNU-Darwin is clearly reliable with demonstrated stability and time-tested persistence.

Thanks Sandbox; I'd looked at this site at some time in the past and thought it might be nice to get things all in one place and all at one time plus hopefully configured correctly for the iMAC and Jaguar! I'm enough of a newbie about the Darwin side of OS X that this might be the way to go; plus I'm still not hooked to the internet with my home iMAC (someday I'll have to replace that modem).
