I havea licensed mathematics package called Maple. It expensive. Ubuntu (Debian) just broke the installation from one upgrade to another. They take pride in not keeping backwards compatibility. Then, I used FreeBSD with the Red Hat emulation software, ad I have it runing. Another example: documentation (with whole books on the system desgin) and a community more knowledgeable. Plus, ports. You don have to wait 6 months like in Debian. Additionally, you can run Linux software under emulation layer. BSD license. Cheers. Henry
