For immediate release: The Random Factory, July 7th, Tucson AZ, USA
Linux for Astronomy Volumes 7,8 and 9 are now available. This is our
largest collection yet. Three cdroms full of Astronomical software
pre-built for the Linux operating system (on x86 and compatible cpu).
The Linux for Astronomy project (LfA) is dedicated to compiling the most
comprehensive collection of Astronomical software, and making it available
for the Linux operating system. LfA provides point-and-click installation,
a complete on-line library of searchable documentation, and much more.
Now in its 8th year, LfA is in use by both amateur and professional
astronomers worldwide. The packages on LfA represent the state-of-the-art
in Astronomical data processing, and are identical to the versions used on
high end scientific workstations.
The combination of ever decreasing hardware prices, and the superb Linux
operating system, makes it possible to use these same packages on a
"standard" personal computer.

All applications tested with the latest Redhat (7.3) and SuSE (8.0)
