Another faster BLAS post

Another post on using faster BLAS with R.

Wiki for R programming

gNewSense

Just saw a new beta of the "strictly libre" distro, gNewSense, but not before long I realized that many of the software bundled in this distro are several generations older than the most recent ones. For example, the newest gcc is 4.8.1, and gNewSense has 4.4.5, almost as old as the one that comes with OSX.
