Oberon for GNU/Linux

This is my attempt to produce an Oberon V4-Version for Systems running Linux/GNU that closely resembles the packages for Windows & Macintosh maintained by the Department for System Software at the Johannes Kepler University in Linz, Austria.
For general Information about Oberon have a look at Guy Ladens fantastic Oberon Reference Site or browse through the Oberon Web Ring (see below)

Oberon for Linux should properly be called Oberon for GNU/Linux systems, since every Linux system uses a huge amount of GNU software. To give credit to the people at GNU I'll use the term GNU/Linux throughout. Have a look at http://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html to see what it's all about.
Oberon for GNU/Linux will of course run on every Linux Distribution (Red Hat, Debian, SuSE, etc.).


Release 1.3 contained a serious bug in the Garbage Collector and is known to crash ;-), therefore I have updated glibc versions to 1.4.
libc5 Versions are no longer supported but may still be downloaded.
The Web Browser now supports tables.
A module for matrix calculations has been added (contribution from Jean F. Soucaille)
The Debugger has been temporarily removed from the release.
This release is beta and I'll gladly accept any kind of bug report. Hava a look at the screenshot
This release is available for libc5 and glibc based systems. Choose one of the following dowload sites:

Installation procedure has changed a lot. So be sure to read the Installation notes.
You can also take a look at the Linux Software Map entry.

A list of known bugs can be found on oberon.linux.bugs.html .
Please do also have a look at the ToDo list to see if you can in any way contribute to the development.
I've also begun to write a list with useful tips and tricks.

Please report any bugs you discovered or suggestions/proposals to the new mailing list:

Of course, mail to lichtenberger@ssw.uni-linz.ac.at is still ok.
