If you're talking about the Matlab toolboxes, that depends on whether 
the Matlab license permits you to do that. Others on this list have said 
in the past that it does not. If you still want to use parts of Matlab, 
what is the point of switching anyway? If you need image processing 
tools, many of the same functions are available in the octave-forge 
package, which can be found at octave.sourceforge.net, and which is also 
available as a package for many Linux distributions.
