I do not know about gobi or xgobi. For your problem R is best . The optimizations are perfect. It is an interpreted functional programming language with inheritance, etc for statistics and lots more. How large is your dataset? Say if you have a 2 MB file...you can run it without adjusting memory allocations on a fast PC with lots of RAM. It is possible to set a statistics server with it. You will certainly find it on the knoppix live dvd or some other live linux cd ...that is if you do not want an install. The linux version is far ahead of the windows version... Best, A.
