Well, I have to take the bait -- Debian probably comes as close as any
other. You get a choice between Octave 2.0.* and 2.1.* as well as a few
useful add-on packages:

matwrap - A wrapper generator for matrix languages
octave - The GNU Octave language for numerical computations
octave-ci - Contributed functions for the GNU Octave language
octave-epstk - GNU Octave encapsulated postscript toolkit
