Applications for Linux<br />
Mart Mennen<br />
Y<br />
ou’re on a Linux workspace and<br />
you would like to run a mathematical<br />
application like Matlab? Until<br />
recently it was not possible to run some<br />
essential software on a Linux workspace.<br />

In contrast to the network<br />
There’s some good news for these users. install it is now possible to select the parts<br />

advantage that the software can be used<br />
without being connected to the network.<br />
To obtain a license of this type,<br />
personal registration with the application<br />
supplier is needed. A concurrent<br />
license is a license which is supplied<br />
through a license server and has no<br />
additional registration obligations. A<br />
disadvantage of this type of license is<br />
the dependency on a network connection<br />
to the TU/e when starting the application.<br />
T<br />

method of<br />
choice if you want<br />
to be able to<br />
quickly use one of<br />
these applications.<br />
The applications<br />
have been installed<br />
on a file<br />
server where they<br />
can be accessed through the NFS protocol<br />
from the Linux computer. This does<br />
mean however that the Linux computer<br />
will have to be connected to the TU/e network<br />
whenever the application is being<br />
used. All network installed applications<br />
are configured in such a way that they<br />
don’t need a separate license on the<br />
Linux client.<br />
Announcement<br />
S<br />
ince the end of July pin payments<br />
will be the only accepted payment<br />

The ICTheek will also be taking over the<br />
NSC payment service. All payments concerning<br />
notebook repairs, accessories<br />
etc. can be made at the ICTheek.<br />
Interested? Have a look at<br />
Unix software support for a summary of<br />
the up to date list of applications and the<br />
corresponding installation documentation■<br />
This means that payments can be done<br />
