Dear Sir Thank you for Axiom. I have used it once before on another Linux machine, and it did what I wanted.
This is a Debian "Lenny" Linux installation which seems to be behaving well. It is usually updated whenever the update notifier suggests. Its basic features are Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.26-2-686 Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.93GHz Main Memory Memory Range: 0x00000000-0x1f7effff (rw) Memory Size: 504 MB I downloaded the most recent available copy of Axiom from your web page axiom-debian-sept2010-bin.tgz and tried to install it this evening. The machine ran hard for maybe about 4 hours, and reported several regression test failures. While I was watching it, the simple memory monitor on the top panel suggested that it never had to use swap space as virtual memory. A summary of the commands I typed, and the output from "make", should be attached. Could you please tell me if I have done anything wrong? Best wishes Alan Hutchinson.
