I am running Suse 9.3 with the KDE that came with it. I am looking for a calculator that, hopefully does not require megabytes o libraries, etc that gives me a virtual tape, base conversions, memory function, a few more features that a 4-banger. Couldn't google one.
I have no idea what a virtual tape is, but kcalc gives you all the other functions you mention.
Also, the PG calculator is very cool, gives you the look of a pocket scientific calculator
That PG calculator uses "Reverse Polish Notation", which while very efficient, is not known by most users. Many years ago, I had a Novus Mathematician calculator, which used RPN. Once I got used to it, I found it was better than algebraic notation. I believe the HP scientific calculators also used RPN.
