Hi,
I'm using Linux Ubuntu on my laptop and I'd love to get rid of Windows altogether (the laptop cam pre-installed with Vista, after installing Ubunu it feels like I got my laptop back!).
Is there any way of installing Spss/PASW on Linux Ubuntu? I see support for Red Hat, but not Ubuntu:
http://support.spss.com/productsext/spss/compatibility.html
I've seen suggestions using Wine, or via a VM, but both seem a bit cumbersome.
Cheers!!
Albert-Jan
