    I'm asking because that's we're using at school for the network. I'd like to use Ubuntu in class since Maple 12 now comes in Linux flavor. I forgot to ask the technician when I saw him this morning :( (he's an ubuntu freak XD). I know there's a version for SUSE but I don't know if it works with the rest...

    If you use the program "alien", you can convert an RPM (which I believe is what SUSE uses) to a DEB package, which should then install.

    And if you spent 30 seconds with Google, you would have found this:
