Getting Started with Linux and Macintosh

Although the Linux and Macintosh OS's are not officially supported, some effort has been made to be sure things are mostly compatible. Here is a list of what seems to work and what doesn't.

	Macintosh	Linux
Mozilla	X	X
Netscape	X	X
Internet Explorer	X
QuickTime	X	wine
Acrobat	X	X
Zip	X	X
Real Player	X	wine
MATLAB	OS 10	X

To run QuickTime^® or Real Player^® on an i386 Linux box you need the CrossOver Plugin from CodeWeavers (http://www.codeweavers.com) The CrossOver Plugin lets you use many Windows plugins directly from your Linux browser. It's based on wine (http://www.codeweavers.com), an implementation of the Windows Win32 and Win16 APIs on top of X and Unix.
