The name ( Poseidon was the Lord of the Seas) derives from the large number of Oceanologists involved in the development of the system. It contains many Free Software programs used by scientists, such as the Fortran programming language, Kile and Lyx for scientific writing, numerical modelling, 2D/3D/4D visualisation, statistics, and several tools that support GIS and Mapping . Due to its wide acceptance in the Portuguese-speaking scientific community, a project has been started to provide translations into Spanish and English . As of February 2006, the current version is 2.0. Plans are to release a new version in April, but this date might be modified pending developments in Kurumin itself and any other critical piece, such as the KDE windows manager. The establishment of the Poseidon Linux foundation (Portuguese: ONG Poseidon Linux) has been announced , to steer further development of the distribution. EXTERNAL LINKS |
