First, I am not a physicist - I am a comp sysadmin. Which means, I have no idea (nor concerns) about what the program does :-)
Q1: where to install? We have a "general use" linux box which provides shell access. The vast majority of folks use it for pine (upwards of 50 simultaneous users). It does have Xwindows for folks running a Xwin server (such as Xwin). We also have a student lab with computers running linux (ubuntu w/ gnome). My main concerns are the resources used on the computer: if it is CPU/memory instensive, I'd rather not have it on the shared resource system. Q2: doing the install? Looking at http://ab-initio.mit.edu/wiki/index.php/Meep_download indicates we can do apt-get to install the package, but I assume we need to point to a repository? -- + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Chris Barnes AOL IM: CNBarnes [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo IM: chrisnbarnes Computer Systems Manager MSN IM: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Department of Physics ph: 979-845-7801 Texas A&M University fax: 979-845-2590 _______________________________________________ meep-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://ab-initio.mit.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/meep-discuss
