Look at point 3.3 in

Like Gregory, I really like awesome but I have never tried 
xmonad. However I have recently switched from Ion3.

Re: [gentoo-user] Modelling software - free - preferably easy to install under Gentoo.

Hi Steve,

Personally I really like Numpy/Scipy:
http://www.scipy.org/
with Matplotlib for 2D graphs. They have all ebuilds for Gentoo but you
need to edit your /etc/portage/package.keywords to emerge.

I understand your feeling, if you do not really know what you
need, the batteries included of Python are for you. Moreover Python has
R bindings so it's a very flexible solution.

Best regards,

Dede
