download page



Hi,

I am having some problems running Maxima 5.13.0 in Ubuntu 8.04.1 (trying 
to change preferences causes program to crash)... I'm hoping the new 
version might solve this & some other problems; appearance (I do dual 
boot w/ Windows XP & Wxmaxima  looks  & works *very* well, so far). I 
went to the  discussed download site (@S.F.) but all I could find are 
.rpm files... is there, or will there be a debian (.deb) option ? There 
is/might be a way to convert said, but this is evidently, not 
recommended...

Also, updating the repository file (which is how I got the earlier 
version) might be the best way for debian users... & if there is a 
synaptic package manager address, also could work...

Thanks much,
Henry
