- **GNU/Linux**

  Executable versions of Octave for GNU/Linux systems are provided by the
  individual distributions.  Distributions known to package Octave include:
  [Debian][1], [Ubuntu][2], [Fedora][3], [Gentoo][4], and [openSUSE][5].
  These packages are created by volunteers.  The delay between an Octave
  source release and the availability of a package for a particular GNU/Linux
  distribution varies.  The Octave project has no control over that process.
