stats packages for Unix
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. _ | | Robert W.
