Thanks for your reply! So I should either download source or wait for Ubuntu binaries. Could be please suggest an option after considering the following:
I want only a stable version. I am currently not interested in the bleeding edge of sage, at least for a few months. (So should I download a previous version?) I have an interconnection that's fast, BUT very limited data transfer limit. So which is easier to upgrade, source or binaries? Is there any way I can download only the changes for the next version (whenever I would want it) and not have to download >300 MB each time I want to upgrade? Also, could you then explain for which linux distos the Debian version will work on, since I downloaded the Debian after I saw this in http://www.sagemath.org/bin/linux/32bit/README.txt: """ NOTE: The Debian version will likely work on many other Linux distributions, since it was built on a minimal Debian install. """ Thanks again for your help!
