problems with Maxima in Ubuntu 9.04



Hi all,

http://wxmaxima.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Packages

provides a lot of links to user contributed packages. 
Perhaps Maxima should do the same. 
Especially for Ubuntu-users we should recommend not to 
use the old "stabil" packages from the official repository. 

http://zeus.nyf.hu/~blahota/linux/

seems to be a good address for Maxima-deb-packages.
