    I'm on Woody 3.0, kernel 2.4.19, which perhaps expalins why your system
    admin had less trouble than me.

    Mathematica seems to only officially support Suse and Redhat

    http://www.wolfram.com/products/mathematica/platforms.html

    I think I'll wait until Sarge is released as stable, then upgrade. I
    have access to Mathematica on several machines, so I'm not stuck.

    I've never attempted to install Matlab on linux - only Windoze and
    SPARC. The latter allways seems to present me problems with the license
    manager. R13 would not work due to what Mathwords described as "a bug in
    Solaris" and what Sun described as "an enhancement". The only solution I
    could find was on a Japanese web site. Now, when I upgraded from 13 to
    14, it managed to stop the 13 working, despite the fact I'd put them in
    separate directories. One of the license files to gets copied to
    /etc/somewhere - even though I installed it on /usr/local, it overwrote
    hte old license file. Luckily R14 seems OK, so I don't need to mess
    about restoring from tape.
