- Add a section about Linux MATLAB installation and use [1]
- I added various trademarks needed in trademarks.ent but I did not used them in the section. They should be added when the trademarks tagging will be definitively defined. PR: docs/55652 [1] Submitted by: Dan Pelleg <daniel+handbook@pelleg.org> [1]

<para>This document describes the process of installing the Linux

version of <application>MATLAB version 6.5</application> onto

a &os; system. It works quite well, with the exception of the

<application>Java Virtual Machine</application> (see

<xref linkend="matlab-using">).</para>

<para>The Linux version of <application>MATLAB</application> can be

the license file or instructions how to create it.</para>
