hi ettore, the free demo version is based on commercial beta v2.57. installation is the same but you'd need cuda 4.0 and cuda toolkit 4.0 installed for it to work on your linux machine

There is no 4.0 Ubuntu/Debian package, nvidia removed cuda toolkit 4.0 download links and moved all of the old pages. You must contact with nvidia to request a link here: [email protected]

All RS/Otoy links to cuda toolkit is going nowhere :/

4.2 guys

Thanks for the link Aenima.
The move must be related to that attack on the their forum last July 2012. On July 12 2012, NVIDIA had to suspend operations of the NVIDIA Forums :(.
