Matlab R2008b to be deployed on Linux

Matlab R2008b is available for testing on EAS Linux machines in /project/devo/b/matlab-r2008b. Most notably, users are not longer prompted after the notification that the software was built on a newer version of glibc. The new version of Matlab will be placed into service on January 22, provided testing does not reveal any problems.

Please note that until the license server, maintained by the Engineering Computing Network, receives the updated Matlab license, users will see a warning about license expiration. The license file will be updated before the license expires at the end of the month.
