ArcheOS is the free GNU/Linux (Debian) based system for archeology. Further informations can be found in this post:

No, but I am very interested to try ArcheOS and see if this tool can adapt to the constraints of preventive archeology.
Thank you both!
@Le Noheh Christine: which kind of tool do you need for your aims in preventive archeology? Maybe there is already something in ArcheOS. Anyway, if you want, I just did a fast videotutorial that show how to do new issues for the development in our main code repository (http://arc-team-open-research.blogspot.it/2015/11/archeos-new-issue-on-github-repository.html)
@ Agustin Diez Castillo, do you use Live-OSGeo directly or in a Virtual Machine? Maybe it would be useful a Virtulal iso image for ArcheOS testing?
Both, but I agree that a Virtual iso image for ArcheOS will be great.
Thanks, we will work on it. Actually we just start the development of the new (6th) release and we are checking and migrating packages from the old one. Which kind of software do you use more often?
Perfect, all this software is already in ArcheOS.
R is the only software for statistical computing in ArcheOS, while in the GIS group we have also GRASS and OpenJUMP. We are still evaluating Spatialite-GIS, while, we dismissed SAGA and uDIG since ArcheOS 5. For mesh-editing we added also Cloud Compare (which has the polygonal selection and the undo command); we used Paraview since 2005 for voxel graphic, but since ArcheOS 5 we added also InVesalius for x-ray CT DICOM data (for archeo-anthropological analyses).
Good. I use, a lot, OpenJUMP, to me is to best tool to draw or digitalize and I use SAGA as well but mostly thru QGis because is not easy to install on Mac that is my usual environment, I've compiled SAGA for Mac but the gui is not very smooth, so I use the CLI but I miss a manual. Spatialite is something I'm also evaluating myself. I will check Cloud Compare and InVesalius for teaching purposes.
I also like OpenJUMP drawing tools very much (also if with the new one in QGIS I can do the same things). For what do you use SAGA?
If someone wants to test it, I just prepared a binary deb package for ArcheOS Hypatia of Nexus (the tool to change a 3d object from a .ply to a multiresolution .nxs), useful to exploit the full potential of 3DHOP (for 3D objects web galleries). MOre details on ATOR: http://arc-team-open-research.blogspot.it/2015/12/archeos-hypatia-nexus-package-call-for.html
Just a very short videotutorial about the use of Nexus:

A new package to test: 3DHOP (for 3d web-galleries):
