I had some troubles to link the latex sources done in windows (case insensitive) to compile on linux (case sensitive). In order to fastly solve this problem, first, I run in shell (simply copy/paste in terminal) following code to make all figure files lowercase. This code works only for current directory. for f in *; do g=`expr "xxx$f" : 'xxx\(.*\)' | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]'` mv "$f" "$g" done However, I found a bit difficult part to rename all the figure links within latex to lowercase. At least not without coding. I didnt have time to check the possibility to edit the code above to so it could be used also within files, but when I come up to this issue again, I might reedit this post.

VNC works usually pretty well to control PCs remotely. However, sometimes you only want to run just one program from the remote PC (or 64-core server), like matlab. Better option than VNC is definitely X forwarding. ssh -l username -X -v servername Once you login, simply just run the command for your program, and it will be open like a regular program :) More details on: http://www.vanemery.com/Linux/XoverSSH/X-over-SSH2.html There is also a possibility to do the same in windows using putty and Xwin32: http://www.math.umn.edu/systems_guide/putty_xwin32.html edit: In order to enable the X forwarding on your own machine, do the following (ubuntu 11.10) 1) Install openssh-server “sudo apt-get install openssh-server” 2) Edit the file /etc/ssh/ssh_config. Find/uncomment/modify these lines: ForwardAgent yes ForwardX11 yes ForwardX11Trusted yes 3) Edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config. Find/uncomment/modify these lines: X11Forwarding yes 4) Restart your SSH server.
