 |

Hi, all...
I'm in search of a relatively simple 10-key calculator to run on my gentoo desktop. Is anyone aware of one available in portage? 
Thanks!

Not quite what I would like. I'm seeking software that would resemble the functionality of a 10-key adding machine with "tape" output of the entered numbers, each followed by its operand, and the "Total" obtained when all entries have been made...

You can see the history of your calculations when using bc
It's command line and is already installed on your machine... but it does take a bit of reading the man pages for setting precision, etc.

You could check out qalculate-gtk/kde, which is very slick
but given your description probably also doesn't really
fit the bill. |

I checked out qalculate-kde...
It is very impressive, and I'll likely go with it. The immense variety of options will more than compensate for a lack of the single feature I'm seeking.
Thanks for suggesting it!

Do you use Karamba? You can try to see if you can find a theme...
