Maxima, xmaxima, and wxmaxima work. The last one works particularly nicely on the N900. If you search this thread, you'll find out more about that.
Question: In LXDE one can use "ctrl + up"
to make full screen. How does one make wxmaxima full screen when
using "debbie wxmaxima" from the xterminal to avoid going into LXDE?

@extendedping: I tried again calibre, and now it worked out of the box, perhaps due to some updates of the squeeze distribution.
then do apt-get update?
then do apt-get install calibre (don't do apt-get upgrade correct)?
then if all goes well I comment out the repos?

it failed. I ran "dpkg ---configure -a" to fix problem. oddly, I get the error
dpkg: failed to write status record about "maxima" to '/var/lib/dpkg/status': No space left on device
When I do a df it appears that there is plenty of space.
So my question is, as I'm concerned about removing files that should
not be touched, where are some good places to look to
remove files to clear space for this installation?

It takes some time to start, but once running, it's working well. See this youtube video if someone doesn't know yet what calibre is good for (I didn't).
CAVEAT: Like with eric4 (see post above), this needs the .kbdactive fix of the last easy-deb-chroot version for debbie keyboard focus, and moreover libpulse0 from squeeze. The latter breaks sound in Easy Debian, however. If you need sound in Easy Debian (I don't really), you may want to wait until somebody (qole?) could tell us what to do about it.
