I have been moving from windows to Ubuntu recently.
I have both windows 7 and matlab for windows license keys.
My question is, is it possible to use wine to install matlab(for windows)? will the performance of matlab being affected?
Except wine, dual-boot, and purchase a new matlab for Linux license key, what other options do I have?
Update: I just searched for virtual box, will it be a good alternative?
Update: After trying with virtualbox, I believe it will not be a good option, because it only run with the ram allocated for it. Seems like I can only purchase a new license, if I don't want to dual-boot, which is quite not convenient.

Since Matlab for Linux exists, the number of users who have experience with Matlab on wine is probably very limited.
If you cannot get a license that is valid on Linux, running Windows 7 (or any Windows) and Matlab with VirtualBox or KVM is certainly an option. The biggest issue is that a significant amount of RAM will be wasted for Windows.
