The problem is that my laptop - a toshiba satellite pro 510L is not accepting
the current version of Ubuntu 9.10 which the system admin has with him. He says
that I need to wait another week or so for the latest release of Ubuntu which
will have the necessary driver to read the hardware in my laptop. That is why I
have been exploring other options like Scientific Linux. Would help if anyone
here has used it especially for octave.
