Hi,

Tuxmath 1.5.3 has just gone into Debian's unstable branch - please have a 
look!  It is (IMHO) quite substantially enhanced over the earlier versions, 
such as what has been in Ubuntu so far:

- overhauled menu system (taken from TuxType)
- large collection of lessons in hopefully logical progression (the "Math 
Command Training Academy").
- Many new astronomical background images.
- New "family-friendly" graphics with penguins living in igloos replacing the 
old cities.

There are other features that are only partially implemented (high-score 
table, for example).

There will likely be another minor release very soon with some bugfixes and 
code cleanup, and hopefully completion of the high-score table.

Also, a new version of TuxType will likely go into Debian soon.

The best contact for TuxMath and TuxType is the sourceforge tuxmath dev list:

tuxmath-devel at sourceforge.net

Cheers,
