The plan was to actually provide a VMWare image with DSL + binary
Sage.That image won't be capable of doing any development, but it
would be a Sage light solution for people who just want to "use" Sage.
Somebody tried compiling Sage on DSL and run into problems with
Singular, but since the Singular team recently fixed an issue where a
32 bit Linux build depended on kernel headers to be present that issue
might be fixed by now. So somebody ought to try again.
