This is a thread for discussion and work on the production of a remastered MX-15 that would contain technical tools for people working in the sciences. The concept is to have special discipline-dedicated additional packages, such as "cognitive neuroscience," available through the MX Package Installer.
More later...anybody interested in working on this?

Re: MX Scientific
I'm available for backporting newer versions of packages than are available in jessie.
Re: MX Scientific
Currently downloading Scientific Linux from the Fermi Lab. Big fat DVD (4.1 GB based on Red Hat). Seems to be the primary such distro. If we proceed in a modular fashion, I think we can trim that down a lot and then populate the Package Installer with add-ons.

Re: MX Scientific
Fedora has a scientific spin, might have some apps in there worth including.

Re: MX Scientific
Great! I am thinking that we should aim for a "core" scientific, and start setting up ancillary packages for MX P I. It looks like we could exploit that Debian neuro package by wrapping up the most commonly used on that page under a new Scientific heading.

Re: MX Scientific
The "core" would be a remastered ISO, for sure. My thought at this early moment is to have various extensions such as the existing cognitive-neuroscience one available as a one-click under Package Installer.
But everything is open to discussion...I'm just throwing out ideas to get something meaty in the stew.

Re: MX Scientific
See that the fedoraproject includes the writing and publishing app. Latex. MX P could go a step further & use Lyx, it can handle most
equations and formula.
Edit; Also see Latex, Lyx and Scribus included in the Debian Science typesetting package.
