Running Sage on Kobo Aura HD

I have installed Sage on this distribution and it is running fine --- even the notebook interface works! See the screenshot attached. The version of Sage installed is 6.9 ARM downloaded from the official place:

http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/w...arm/index.html

It would be nice to see if the latest (7.3) can be compiled from sources on this machine. Anyway, 6.9 is good enough...

Also, all scientific packages like numpy/scipy/matplotlib all work fine (but 50 times slower than on my desktop, naturally). I think this is the smallest useable "scientific pocket workstation" in the world.

Btw, I was surprised to see that the screenshot is produced in colour. Obviously, the real thing has no colours, being an eInk. But this is a real screenshot --- not photoshoped or coloured or anything. And the timings of calculating "prime pi" function are real too, of course.

The other alternative is to run Termux (see http://termux.com ) on an Android mobile or phone, but it only has python+numpy. Not even scipy or matplotlib, let alone the full Sage...
