Thanks. Now my project at the Italian supercomputer center is going to production. I had no problems with RedHat as far as number crunching is concerned. Now, however, I need to access their Remote Visualization service to deal - also on the X server - with large files. To this end, I need to download software compatible with Debian amd64. The variety of graphic and non-graphic tools that I use is very large. Their 64 bit Linux list (lacking any GNU Linux for either 64 or 32 bit) RCM_darwin RCM ubuntu 12.04 RCM RHL 5.6 RCM openSUSE 11.4 and 12.2 I would appreciate advice as to which RCM will likely work for me. I heard about ubuntu but, to avoid being flooded by messages, i put it in the spam. The advice I can even from the center is very limited as they don't know what I have.
