+Sage is a free open-source mathematics software system licensed under
+the GPL. It combines the power of many existing open-source packages
+into a common Python-based interface.
+Mission: Creating a viable free open source alternative to Magma,
+
+Sage can be used in several ways: through an interactive command line,
+by writing stand-alone scripts, through the graphical notebook
+interface in a browser, or through the KDE Cantor application (part
+of a full Slackware installation).
+
+Building sage requires >5GB of disk space, so you may need to
+redefine $TMP and/or $OUTPUT.
+
+See README.BUILDOPTS for additional (important) information about
+build options and such.
