Thank you Reco. I will use either apt or pip. I am looking to use scipy
basically, that's all I need, Anaconda comes with bunch of things I
don't need. I have noticed that modules are a bit outdated in apt
however, I asked a separate question regarding that.
I am glad not to be a Windoze user. And now I am also glad you are not
a Windoze user.
thank you.
