How to use matlab from home
If you have windows you can install putty and cygwin, and follow these instructions. The only difference is that you need to connect with your own login (that your superviser gave you) and the host is gertrud.unil.ch (and not the dartmouth thing). Also in page 13 of the manual, it tells you to modifiy a file in C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin. In our case, the file to edit was actually in C:\cygwin\bin. The installation is quite heavy and takes about 40 minutes, so do it when you have some time.
