Oh ... yeah ... Octave and SciLab are "free" Matlab clones. If you have
Matlab code, you can probably make it work with either Octave or Scilab. I
know Octave is open source, but I don't remember if SciLab is. Octave comes
on the basic Red Hat distribution. SciLab is available on the Power Tools CD
in the Red Hat Advanced Workstation distribution.
