* MIT supports this application on Athena-Linux (and in some cases Windows and Mac OS). We can help you with application usage and configuration questions, but will not be able to help you with issues specific to your installation of Linux or your hardware configuration. MIT also has an extensive Linux peer support group, which can be reached via the linux-help@mit.edu mailing list. Please check the Supported Linux Software list to find out what software is supported by Information Service & Technology . Additional software is available to the MIT community via other media such as CDs from the Volume License Software Distribution site or for purchase via GovConnection.
