Sage is self contained, more than any very nontrivial open source math software I know of. Sage is easily installed, and uninstalled, since it is self contained. > I totally agree with this. For example, sage --upgrade (or whatever > the correct command is) has never worked for me (on Ubuntu 8.04), and Sage is not easily upgraded, but that's perhaps not part of "self-contained, easily installed (and uninstalled)". The command is "sage -upgrade". That command should be changed to "sage -expert_upgrade", since it absolutely is not designed for casual users like you. I wrote it specifically for developers who needed to synchronize quickly with the latest version of sage, and who understand compilers, Sage's revision control systems, etc. I've posted a trac ticket to change the name: http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/3944 > I am really looking for the day when I will do "apt-get install sage", > which is number 1 on my wish-list. That day should be very soon, I hope.
