Is there a distribution specced out for R/Python/Julia based tools with all their related packages? I've been trying to do a custom VM image with the packages installed along with a few editors and doing a rank amateur muppet job at it. I'm close to giving up because I've lost track of what I installed. Though I should add, that the installations of the packages have been a breeze without any hiccups.
If there's a distribution aligned for scientific computing or statistical tools along with the bells and whistles, it'd help. sivaram --
