Well, I'm trying to boot the live SAGE CD from http://www.sagemath.org 
as I tried their online servers like http://www.sagenb.org all last 
semester but my school's network was a bit laggy.  Also, I can't setup 
my own server until I get some new hardware.  So, I have to burn the 
ISO or boot it from a Linux partition.  BTW, SAGE is a Computer Algebra 
System based on python that we use like MATLAB.
