Any advice on basic stats. packages for Unix/Linux?  We used Minitab
on a DEC alpha box using DEC Unix.  That was fine by me but the DEC
was too expensive to maintain.  So, we replaced it with a FreeBSD
system runing on a pile of Intel boxes.  But, Minitab does not run on
that, so we started using the PC and iMac versions.  However, the iMac
lab is a disaster (local problem, not a Mac problem, I think) and we
hate supporting three platforms.

The software must be VERY easy to use and not cost much more than
Minitab, which is quite cheap for a site license.  We have a few
hundred students per year using the software.  Most of them have
pretty limited math., computer and study skills.
