Telkom dampens Science

[kaspaas]

Because of dearest Telkom, it is not feasible to download the following ISO - Telkom would consider ist as abusive behaviour:

Executive Summary:

Quantian 0.7.9.1 is the first Quantian release based on Knoppix 4.0.2.
Quantian adds hundreds of scientific / numeric packages, as well as the
openMosix enabled 2.4.27 kernel, to the cdrom version of Knoppix.

Relative to the previous release 0.6.9.3, hundreds of applications have
been updated, and many new applications (such as polyxmass, scigraphica,
kst, octaviz, gromacs) have been added. Quantian now contains over 2400
Debian packages, and over 800 packages for R.

Quantian comes as one bootable dvd iso of 2.5gb (compressed) with
almost 7 gb (uncompressed) of software of interest to quantitative
analysts, scientists, researchers or students.

See http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/quantian.html for more details.

This ISO is a good starting point for a lot of scientific and mathematical tools - for students, as well as professionals.

Unfortunately Telkom would consider downloading such an ISO as abusive behaviour.
