In tako ves razpizden danes pišem tle o octave-forge-u.  Pomožne funkcije v octave-u so na voljo kot dodatni paketi... Ker naprimer če uporabljaš finančne funkcije, ne rabiš tistih za obdelavo signalov, ali za obdelavo zvoka/slike, in seveda kontra. In te dodatne paketke treba instalirat... sam pač za te windowsase je to seveda slabo... zakaj bi imel majhen simpl program za zmanjšatsliko... rajš spiraterizirajo Photoshop. Zakaj nekaj simpl za izrezat sceno iz videa, raje cel Adobe Premiere.   Zakaj bi en program delal eno stvar, če ima lahko vsak program zraven še ugrajen search indexer, pet reklam, tri ikonce raven ure, tri deamone v ozadju, en prefetcher, ki drži cel program v ramu, da se le-ta hitreje zažene, in še kaj.

Tko da ja... po tem rantu dodajam še seznam octave paketkov (tistih vsaj ki jih daje gentoo za zraven):
